Christopher Juul-Jensen is an unusual reading, thinking and writing cyclist. He is considered one of the most valuable domestique in the world at this time. And in recent years, he has written down his inner thoughts about his life on the roads - but he has never shown his poetry to others before now. In this portrait, he tells with a painful self-consciousness how strong the longing can be for a victory, for a man who basically gets paid to lose. We follow Christopher from being a little boy in childhood Ireland to a career as the field's self-destructive butler, who constantly doubts the meaning of it all.
