Known for performing almost unbelievable feats using only his teeth, the Belgian strongman pulled trams, trains, airplanes, and lifted weights that seemed to defy human limits. For years, he fought to surpass his legendary rival John Massis and earn recognition as one of the greatest strongmen of all time. But behind the spectacle was a man consumed by ambition, pride, and the need to be seen. Fame never brought stability.

Now 69 years old, Walter lives in isolation in Belgium, surrounded by chickens and ducks in a modest home. Yet he still refuses to give up. Determined to prove himself one last time, he sets out on a near-impossible challenge: riding a simple ladies’ bicycle in pursuit of one final record. Beast is a powerful documentary about obsession, strength, rivalry
