Full of Fives

Normal Sudoku rules apply. (Put digits 1 to 9 in every row, column and 3x3 box.)
- Killer Cages: Digits in a cage sum to the value given in the cage's top left corner.
- Cage Connecting Line: Draw a 5-cell-long (including the cells in the cages) orthogonal line that connects two cells located in different five-sum cages (the blue cages). Both endpoints of the line must contain the same digit.
- German Whisper: Along the connecting line you draw, the difference between any adjacent digits must be at least 5.
Try the puzzle on the SudokuPad app by Sven Neumann.
Hint: Firstly, 5 cannot go into any of the cages. There are two types of five-sum cages and two types of fifteen-sum cages. You can then identify which two cells in the five-sum cages are being connected. After that, the Sudoku becomes a colouring puzzle, with the digits finally determined using the German Whisper line.
Solution code: The cells along the Cage Connecting Line, from the top right to bottom left.
