Endless desert, thousands of kilometres of routes, fatal accidents. And hundreds of drivers ready to tackle the world's toughest race - the Dakar Rally. One of them is 19-year-old Konrad Dąbrowski, who inherited this passion from his father, a legend of Polish motorsports. And it is his father who supports him throughout the rally, when exhaustion and doubts start to set in. More important than the rally itself is the backstage, where an accelerated coming-of-age course is taking place. The father knows from his own experience what kind of emotions are gnawing at his son and he is trying to steer him in the right direction.
