Finding Balance: A Cyclist's Journey From Burnout to Freedom

Daniil moved from Lithuania to chase his dream of becoming a chef in London. While pursuing Michelin stars in fine dining, he rediscovered cycling and soon began burning the candle at both ends: 80-hour work weeks, with nearly every spare moment spent on the bike. Eventually, it became too much. This film is about what came after — and how he found balance again on two wheels.
