The film features Franz Klammer, an accomplished Austrian skier, dubbed by many the ‘king of skis’. The authors depict the loneliness of this ‘successful man’, who currently does not participate in any sports competitions, in a somewhat ironic and, at times, grotesque manner. The viewer is surprised by numerous intriguing cinematographic solutions, which accentuate the emotional and aesthetic qualities of the film.
