JaBig, a Montreal-based DJ, decides to attempt to beat the record for the longest continuous bike ride in a single country. He will cross Canada in the winter, with a fixed-gear bicycle, up to the village of Tuktoyaktuk. We meet him during the last few kilometres, along a frozen road 188 km long. The journey is at the same time beautiful and terrible, and Jean’s story makes us reflect and ask: “And now? Where next?"
