Synopsis
Jan Nemec is one of the most famous grass skier of all time. He is willing to sacrifice anything in order to reach his goal. In the case of grass skiing, this creates an interesting paradox, because those hard-won victories and the sweet feeling of success end on the winner’s podium. For the world of big money, media attention, and corporate sponsors, grass skiing remain invisible. The shooting of the only film dedicated to this non-Olympic sport, took over nine years to complete.
