This inspiring film is based on the true story of Ramón Arroyo, a Spanish man with multiple sclerosis. Told his ability to walk would decline precipitously within the year, Arroyo set to prove them wrong by training to complete an iron man triathlon: 3.8 kilometers of swimming, 180 kilometers of cycling and 42 kilometers of running.
