Impressions from the wedding of two young Chileans in the German Democratic Republic.

Documentary filmmaker Paul Krewer follows his friend Thomas Ritter in the Peace Race, aiming to capture a winner’s story. When Ritter crashes and falls back, Krewer shifts focus to underdog Steve Baxter’s grit and teammate Falck’s unexpected lead. In a dramatic final stage, Ritter stages a comeback to win overall—and vows to uncover whether Falck’s last-minute mechanical failure was chance or conspiracy.
