The Fifth Sun

Is travelling a form of vagrancy, or is it more of an inner journey that completes you, when you finally reach the end of the road?
This is one of the questions that directors pondered, deciding to follow Finnish traveler and former fire-fighter Panu in a road trip from Finland to Australia chasing a solar eclipse.

The Fifth Sun is Coldfocus Production, a feature documentary, a glimpse into a lifestyle where your whole life fits into a backpack, trying to make you consider your own ideas about freedom.

Written and Directed by Cristiana Pecci and Matteo Maggi
