Plot
In 1952, four passionate bobsledders - Gamser, Franzl, Gustl and Leusl Peter prepare for the Winter Olympics in Oslo. There, the veteran Bavarian Gamser wants to finally put his archrival Dorfler in his place and show him his class.
Sinekatalog’s take
A broad, good-natured comedy about bobsledders chasing glory and settling a rivalry. It is folksy and silly, a pleasant choice for viewers who like regional humour and sporting underdogs.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
