23-year-old Englishman Tom Allen is all set for a successful office-bound career, but he finds himself persisted by a question many of us face: isn't there more to life than this? Leaving everything and everyone behind, Tom sets off on his bike without maps or guidebooks on a quest to find the answer. But what does he find?

Filmed over four years in 32 countries by one man on a bicycle, Janapar is a true one-off — a unique and intimate glimpse into a true story of life and love on the road; and a tale of finding what you’re looking for — right when you least expect it.

In association with Keswick Bikes
