The Olympics
January 1, 1979
17m
Overview
These striking observations of a skiing competition for children in Zakopane make, at the same time, a little treaty about growing up. Innocent play in snow soon changes into a true competition where only the best can win. Adults get involved in the rivalry between children forcing them to continue gruelling efforts. The sound of a ticking stopwatch is a perfect complement to the story. At the end of the film, one of the boys rebels and leaves the run. He is not interested in the world of adults yet.
