Snowboarding is freedom.
The freedom to live, to express yourself, to let the adrenaline flow.
But what are the consequences of this idea of freedom? Travel, the destruction of nature, climate change.
Winter sports are contradictory.
On the face of it, it is a way of life in the heart of nature that gives you emotions, self-confidence and energy. But without the rose-colored glasses, it is a sport that has an impact on the climate, on nature and on individual transport that is harmful to the environment.
And I am right in the middle of it.
A self-critical, -ironic and reflective snowboard short film about the contradictions and the rose-colored world of winter sports.
