Wonderful character development!

Gripping story with well-crafted characters

Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Anni Seitz's documentary tells us in wonderful pictures about the life and the families of young athletes in Mongolia who have the dream to participate at the Olympic Winter Games. It is not so much a sports film it is much more an intimate film about Mongolian people and how they live their lifes in a nearly untouched Environment.The German trainer Georg Zipfel who is enthusiastic and emotional at the same time and the happy Mongolian girl who is part of the young students ski team will always stay in my mind.Florian Langake's camera shows landscapes in an expressive way that I have never seen before. The edit by Daniela Hoelgen is extremely sensible not to disturb the fine direction and the impressive camera.
