The career of Michael Schumacher is traced in a 5-part documentary series. Beginning at a ‘gravel pit’, the place of his origin, which has always remained his home, but was also his motivation to want to achieve more. A race track that was important to him became his ‘living room’. With the colour ‘red’ - with Ferrari - he becomes a record-breaking world champion and a man of the world. During a ‘time-out’, he reflects on his career, looks after his family and other interests - and returns to the racetrack. The final chapter, ‘Man’, sheds light on his impact on other people. Even after his accident, after which he is on a long road to rehabilitation and has not appeared in public since. He himself, Michael Schumacher the man, remains mostly hidden from the public eye. His visor never fully opens. But he casts a spell over everyone he meets.
