A romantic sports biography set in the 70ies austrian alps. It follows the sympathetic Franz Klammer who won the gold medal in the 1976 winter olympics ski downhill race in Innsbruck. It was a home game for him. Also we see a sweet and because of Franz' fame a bit complicated love story unfold as he and his girlfriend start getting closer. The film draws besides that attention to his carinthian origins, dealing with fame, scenes with colleagues and a conflict with his ski sponsor. Its a somewhat lighthearted sports competition film photographed with retro touch and colors. Productionwise its high value and although the story is not very deep or complex, Franz smile and quirky charme will take u over. Somehow he is portraited a little shy, hiding that under a big smile. He raises the question what he needs to win and that he has to know that at the start. And in a nice blending of scenes on the final meters of the race it seems one can see what this is for him: foremost his love, is family, his colleagues and furthermore all people cheering him up to win. He also wins for them and for us, so its a kind of collective win and euphoria. I also think the dialect speech was very authentic and i applaud that.
