Summary How can a blind man ride a bike, a Shaolin monk bend an iron rod with his neck and a man perform extraordinary calculations in his head? This documentary goes in pursuit of people with extraordinary skills that go beyond what is ordinarily deemed humanly possible. It sets out to put their unique talents under the spotlight and scientifically test their abilities to gain an understanding of what makes them so special and how it is possible for them to perform their incredible feats. Theirs are unbelievable stories of discovering their unique abilities and trying to get by in a world marked by the ordinary. (From Germany) (Documentary) CC
