Gladiators. A Different World
Date du début: 9 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 8 nov. 2016 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

At the finishing line cycling is reminiscent of the cinema or fashion world, with the full array of shining bicycles, multi-colored sportswear, champagne showers and thousands of people watching the show. However, when one looks deeper, what really matters here, is an endless will, devotion to common goals and team work, the wish to endure an everlasting urge to continue the race even feeling an impossible pain – that is what makes cyclists special even in the world of sport. ‘Gladiators. A Different World’ is a documentary poem about a unique side of professional cycling as well as of one of the harshest of all mountain races - the Giro d’Italia - told from a totally different, never yet shown perspective. The story unfolds the relationship between those who lead and those who are ready to do anything to help them achieve the victory in the race – the leaders and their ‘gregories’ - faithful friends and sword-bearers that are prepared to endure the harshest challenges, make biggest sacrifices, stand up after falls and keep on racing not for a personal victory, but rather for a teammate’s triumph. ‘Gladiators. A Different World’ is a film about amazingly willful warriors, the taste of blood, victory, and incredible human powers that break out in awe-inspiring, spectacular Giro d’Italia landscapes.
