Film: Television journalist Christian Vogel makes a drastic decision: At 34, he's reached a point in his life where he has to ask himself if he's truly happy doing what he does. And because he comes to the conclusion that he wants to fulfil a big dream in life, so that he doesn't have to ask himself later whether he has missed out on something, he hangs up his job, gives notice on his flat and scrapes together all his savings. After elaborate preparations, he plans to circumnavigate the globe once on a motorcycle. All alone. Separated from his girlfriend and his family for many months, Vogel sets off on a journey into the unknown, which brings with it many great encounters, unique experiences, but also unexpected dangers. But then a serious accident threatens to destroy the dream before the destination is reached.

Everthing comes is a gripping documentary that takes the viewer on a fascinating journey. Fascinating because Christian Vogel's experiences show that even in the most remote places of this world, despite all the differences, there are so many similarities between people. That there is helpfulness and humanity everywhere - even in places where one might not expect it. But the film also shows what risks it can bring to have an accident in a country where you neither understand the language, nor know the customs and the right way to deal with authorities or the police.

While the first few minutes, in which Vogel travels through Canada to Alaska, are simply scenically fascinating, things get really exciting dramaturgically, too, at the latest with the constant surveillance in China or the accident in India. What might be a bit of a pity is the fact that the nice, relaxed moments are ticked off relatively quickly, while the hardships and the consequences of the accident are given a bit too much time. However, this is then understandable if you ultimately see the film as a great plea for open-mindedness and fellow humanity.

If you like exceptional travel documentaries like Ewan McGregor's Long Way Down, you'll get your money's worth here. Therefore, despite some minimal lengths, there is a clear for this rousing motorcycle trip around the world: Absolutely worth seeing!

Picture + Sound: The picture of the documentary is clean, the image sharpness is in most moments on a good level and also the color scheme is absolutely convincing. The DTS-HD mix allows the interviews to ring out with good clarity, while music and some well-captured ambient noise also provide some surround movement. Absolutely fine for a documentary, so here's a well-deserved: good!

Extras: Bonus features include an extensive interview with Christian Vogel about the making of the documentary (approx. 30:04 min.). Four unused scenes (approx. 26 min.), which include a long version of the first aid course or a visit to Nepal, as well as the trailer for the film are also included in the additional offering, which is well worth watching.

Conclusion: No matter what comes is a gripping documentary that takes its viewers on a fascinating and also exciting journey around the world. The Blu-ray presents the rousing video diary of Christian Vogel in good picture and sound quality and also has about an hour of worth seeing extras on board. For this there is quite clearly a: Absolutely recommended!
