About this film
Part of the Europe – Netherlands to Portugal series, this 29-minute episode centres on a long day of cross-border travel. Its route carries the ride away from a stay with family in Switzerland and through several neighbouring countries. Along the way, the journey also pauses at the Roman ruins of Agusta Raurica, adding a historical stop to a day otherwise defined by distance and onward travel. The film keeps the focus on the ride and the places encountered en route.
The journey
After leaving the Swiss Alps, the ride continues through Germany, France, Luxembourg and Belgium, completing the five-country itinerary described for the day. Before crossing the Rhine, Mota visits the ruins of Agusta Raurica. There he meets Oswaldo, who is riding a 1995 Transalp and follows the channel. The stop brings two Transalps together before the journey resumes across the river and onward through the European route. The film’s central thread is the challenge of covering 700 kilometres while passing through national borders, with the archaeological visit and roadside meeting forming distinct moments along the way.
