A documentary that follows Thomas Goltz and a group of riders on old Soviet motorcycles as they carry the first symbolic barrel of Caspian oil from Baku to Ceyhan along the future BTC pipeline. Using rare historical footage, personal interviews, and scenes captured during the journey, the film shows Goltz's legacy as a war reporter, his strong connection to Azerbaijan, and how oil shaped the identity of the country.
