Traces

synopsis

A legendary story of friendship, told in a minimalist style using expansive shots of snow-covered landscapes. Two skiers emerge from the thick fog: In March 1913, Bohumil Hanč and Václav Vrbata died tragically in the Giant Mountains during an international 50km ski race. When the weather took an extreme turn for the worse, Hanč fell and injured himself. Vrbata turned back and lent him some his clothing, but neither survived.
