The Marathon
You never walk alone
Directed by Diederick Koopal
Produced by Eyeworks Film, Inspire Pictures
A warm, comedic underdog story about four working-class friends pushing themselves to the limit together, driven by both financial desperation and the bonds of friendship.
Four out-of-shape car mechanics decide to participate in the Rotterdam marathon. If they reach the finish in time, they will be able to pay off their debt — if they don't, they will lose their garage.
