The cycling season is nearing its grand finale. During the final race, the two men in the lead are also competing for the affection of a lady and fulfilment of their erotic fantasies, as the small Mediterranean port town that hosts the races prepares for the arrival of a large ocean liner… A unique, blithe animated film, inspired by the art of Croatian visual artist Vasko Lipovac, soaked in the vivid colours of the summer and a pervasive sense of eroticism.
