Esra and Heit cycle from east to west, from Görlitz to Mühlheim an der Ruhr and on to Cologne, more than 900 kilometers along the Via Regia. They lose themselves in landscapes and cities, miss each other in their search and meet other characters along the way. "NO SPEED NO LIMIT" is a staged bicycle tour along the historic trade route, which in the Middle Ages contributed significantly to the exchange of goods and ideas between cities such as Frankfurt am Main, Cologne, Erfurt, Leipzig and Görlitz. Parts of the tour can be ridden by the audience, everything is streamed live. Time and again, the protagonists Esra and Heit stop to rest and eat, to rest their tired legs and think out loud. "NO SPEED NO LIMIT" is a portrait of Germany between East and West, a road movie on a bicycle, a serialized novel in livestream.
