A documentary of one man, 7 deserts, and a bicycle. Follow Sergi Fernandez on his intense solo journeys traveling by bicycle through the world's largest deserts. The dust storms, flooded roads, swarms of flies and extreme temperatures are offset by beautiful sunrises, stunning landscapes and glaciers falling into the sea in places many people will never travel to in their lives. He is powered by an intense human motivation and a knack for getting visas in his passport and loading his bike with camping equipment. Sergi sees the Australian Deserts, Atacama Desert, Mojave Desert, Namib Desert, Kalahari Desert, Gobi Desert and Sahara Desert and records almost 100 hours of video during during the trips.
