Synopsis

In 'When the Road Ends', Dylan, who grew up in poverty, fulfills his childhood dream of traveling the world on a motorcycle. After covering an impressive 200,000 kilometers across four continents, he encounters a significant obstacle: the road from Panama to Colombia is lost to an impenetrable jungle. Faced with this challenge, Dylan ingeniously constructs a raft powered by his motorcycle engine, embarking on a daring sea journey of 700 kilometers to reach Colombia's road network. Battling strong ocean currents and fierce storms, Dylan's adventure from Central to South America showcases his resilience and determination to overcome the odds in pursuit of his dream.
