I need a sky above my head – Sofiane Sehili story

A journey across continents.
An unexpected arrest.
Two months of detention.
“I need the sky above my head.”
This documentary tells the true story of a cyclist attempting to break the Eurasian crossing record — a challenge that suddenly turns into something much bigger.
While pushing beyond physical and geographical limits, he crosses a border he shouldn’t have.
What follows is an unexpected arrest in Russia and two months of detention, far from everything he knew.
What began as a personal challenge becomes a deeper reflection on freedom, control, and the thin line between them.

🎬 Directed by Marco Rimondi
🚴‍♂️ Starring: Sofiane Sehili and Fanny Bensussan
