About

The Giant Mountains, 1913. At the start of a cross-country skiing competition Bohumil Hanč, the greatest Czech cross-country skier of his day, encounters the talented all-rounder Emmerich Rath, whose German origins have been a source of irritation for others throughout his life. The ill-fated race begins and the battle for first place ultimately becomes a battle for survival. Set against the backdrop of the bitterly cold but stunning mountain range, the film tells a dramatic tale of friendship that knows no national boundaries.
