Hey, Nikki.

Your mother is looking for you.

- Your mother is looking for me.

It's not my fault you're that slow.

Your mother just wanted to go on a family trip.

She's been waiting at the valley station for half an hour.

We aren't a family.

It's my mother's new assistant.

I thought you wanted to be a sportsman.

Alcohol doesn't go well with that.

How would you know?

- Enough to tell you that it won't work like this.

Look at yourself.

You can hardly get down the hill with your skis.

You know what?

I won't just get down.

I'll be faster than you.

That's childish, Nikki.

And you drank alcohol.

This way you at least stand a chance.

If you'll be faster than me, I'll act nice for the rest of the week.

Three, two...

Yes!

Hey, what are you doing?

What do you say?

Dammit!

Sure.

Be quiet, I was first.

Doesn't matter.

That was dangerous, Nikki.

I found him.

Darling.

Mom, what do you want with that loser?

Nikki, look at yourself.

It can't go on like this.

- Leave then.

Let me be!

Hello, Mark.

Call me back.

We urgently need to talk.

What were you thinking?

Why did you start a brawl at the admission party?

They insulted us.

- That's not what it's about.

Nikki, we talked about it.

I thought you understood.

When someone punches me I'm allowed to fight back, right?

That has nothing to do with skiing.

- It does, Nikolas.

From now on everything in your life will have to do with skiing.

Directly or indirectly.

Georg, I already spoke to your father, too.

You spoke to him?

Will he take me off the school?

- No.

Will he come here?

- No.

Shall I call him?

- No!

Just promise me that this will never happen again.

Okay, we promise it.

That's commendable, but your two buddies seem to not have understood.

We do, right?

Guys!

Fine, we'll check ourselves from now on.

Right, Luca?

I didn't do anything.

Okay, get lost.

Otherwise you'll miss the entire school day.

There was a madman who claimed you're a murderer.

That's how it all started.

We're not a normal school.

You're the skiing stars of the future.

There are many begrudgers and hostilities.

You have to learn to handle it.

What's most important is that we stick together.

And: I won't tell mom, okay?

She wouldn't listen anyway.

You'll have less classes in the winter semester.

Of course you'll spend more time on the piste.

In summer... Hello.

- Now everyone's here.

Very nice.

Once again: My name is Professor Volderauer and I'm your class teacher.

For the next few years.

I'd assume all of you want to get on the piste now.

But life isn't all about skiing.

So a profound general education is just as important for your future.

Alright.

Congratulations on the brawl, Rocky.

Is that the way to the top?

Stop talking during class.

Of course we'll inform you when there are changes.

You'll always have three days of training and two days of class.

After lunch Mrs. Huber will explain the training plan to you.

Let's see how you do when you're not on the piste.

We prepared a little test as you're from different schools.

To see which level you're on.

On the last page is a spot for your personal interests besides skiing.

Okay?

Nikolaus?

- Yes?

You don't have to copy, we won't grade you yet.

I don't copy, anyway.

Nikolaus, please stay on your side, otherwise I'll have to move you.

Can you please call me Nikki?

- Move over there, Nikolaus.

You can start your break once you're done.

Hey, Dani!

Do you have all the math examples?

Dani, please put your paper down.

Thanks.

Thanks.

It doesn't mention any personal interests.

Because I didn't write anything.

But you're supposed to write something you're interested in, so I can get to know you better.

You can ask me.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I owe you one.

Just you wait.

Maybe everything was wrong.

What's so exciting out there?

MARK AUER MURDERER It has to be removed immediately.

Shit!

Albin and Tina will take care of it.

We have to call the police.

What for?

We know who did it.

- Exactly.

She can't terrorize the entire school because of her chimeras.

Police should send an official.

Maybe she can be banned from the ground.

Shit!

This is shit.

It's completely wet.

Why are we doing this shit?

Auer can do that himself.

Hello.

Hi.

Did you see anything else?

No, nothing.

Is anything missing or was a lock broken?

No, nothing.

Were any externals on the ground?

You know who did it.

It's obvious.

I feel sorry for her.

But it's psychological terror.

Yes, Mark.

But I need more evidence for other crimes.

The police, too?

- I have no idea.

It's about the Zeiler case.

He was at this school.

Last winter he fell from the roof.

Everybody here knows it.

He was great at skiing.

He always posted funny videos and had many followers.

And he fell form the roof?

- Fell... Everybody thinks it was suicide.

Nobody knows why.

What does that have to do with my father?

In the village they say Pauli couldn't bear the school pressure anymore.

That's what the asshole in the bar meant.

The asshole in the bar was his brother.

17-YEAR-OLD FROM GESTEIN WAS FOUND DEAD IN FRONT OF THE SKIING ACADEMY We're on our way to the race.

I'd say I'll surely come first.

I'll tell you afterwards.

Bye.

Today I'm here with...

Welcome back to skiing tips with Paul.

I spent all day on the piste again.

Today I'll show you my favorite stretching exercise after a hard day of training.

Get down with a straight back.

Take your beer bottle and open it with the ski boot.

Enjoy the moment.

That was it.

See you next time.

Bye.

Turn off the light.

You like that, right?

Shit, not her again.

What does she want?

She's going crazy as Pauli's crucifix is gone.

- Dear God, just decline the call.

Shit, I can't do this.

Tina!

I see his face every single day.

Calm down.

Not now.

Let's go outside.

As if it was haunting me.

- Tina!

Can I help you?

What is it?

Alright.

Racing season will start in five weeks.

The next days we'll start with slalom training right away.

Today you have a period of grace.

Yes?

Will you split us up into little groups so everyone can work on one's own level?

Nawal, I have something else prepared for you.

Some training in water.

Everybody else...

Yes?

- Sorry.

I'm doing well.

I have to participate in the slalom training.

No, you'll have to skip that class.

What?

No.

I really don't feel anything anymore.

You should take it easy.

We'll slowly work on building up your muscles.

But I'm not in pain anymore.

I have to get on the piste.

Nawal, that's not a suggestion.

Everybody else: Prepare everything today.

You'll have the afternoon off and can get used to this place.

Tomorrow we'll start at 6 am.

We want to get up before the sun rises.

Questions?

Okay?

See you tomorrow morning.

Going to bed won't be worth it.

Shall I help you?

- No.

What's that sleep schedule.

What are you doing?

- What does it look like?

Didn't Franziska tell you to take it easy?

- She told me to build up muscles.

And some jogging never hurts.

May I come along?

I can show you everything.

Fine with me.

But I'll run at my speed.

- You've just been on crutches.

I can run at your speed.

Do you think it was sprayed because of our brawl?

Basti also said that my father is a murderer.

No, I think it's because of Paul's crucifix.

It stood over there.

Candles were lit near it.

It's been gone since the admission exam.

So he surely did it.

I'd leave investigating to the police.

And I wouldn't go jogging with a sore cross band.

I didn't know you're working here now.

I'll have visitors.

What's this?

PROTECT OUR CHILDREN!

GET RID OF THE SKIING ACADEMY!

A petition against me?

Yes.

And the inhumane institution.

From you?

And others.

You daubed at the school, right?

What?

Don't act like that.

You can daub anything you like, but it doesn't help anyone.

87.60.

Come on, shall we just take a break?

- It's fine.

The inn is right there.

We could have a drink.

I'm fine, if you want to... Nikki, your dad already went home.

Already?

He wasn't doing well.

I think he's taking it very personally.

Maybe you could visit him.

Because of the kiss...

Please don't ask whether we're a couple.

No, I just wanted to ask... - I only did it because of Nikki.

He's annoying.

Thanks.

But he looks good, right?

Maybe a little.

Wait a sec.

Hey.

How are you?

- How is that your business?

Hello, Steffi.

Are your shitty skiing friends on the road, too?

No, only Nawal and I.

We went jogging.

Nawal, this is my sister Steffi and this is Basti.

Steffi, this is Nawal.

Shall we leave?

I never thought you'd be like this.

How am I?

You know what I mean.

Let's leave.

Maybe I should call the school and explain to them what you did.

What are you talking about?

You never cared about this.

Neither the school nor the cadre.

Maybe.

But now there won't be any money left for me, as mom and dad will invest everything in the school.

And at the farm I work twice as much.

I promise I'll help you as much as I can.

Do you really believe you'll have time for that?

Come.

- Tell her.

I'm sorry.

- Bullshit.

You aren't.

Come, Basti!

Don't get involved in this.

- It's not Basti's fault that you shit me.

What's that bullshit you're talking about?

I've always been there for you when you needed something.

It's about me and my dream for once and you want to ruin everything?

I managed the admission test myself.

Hey, what Steffi meant...

I know what she meant.

- Really?

You're in because of the rate.

- Which rate?

You're the local.

Everybody already knows.

Everybody already knows?

All of us saw your time at the race.

And you told me that you passed before it was official.

Dad?

Dad?

Dad?

Hey, how was it with your father?

What's wrong?

Do none of you talk anymore?

What do you mean?

I do talk.

I'll add you on Insta.

What's your name?

Dani and Nawal already added me.

Do you know who was Nawal's father?

I don't give a shit who you add and who you don't add.

Or who's Nawal's father.

I'll sleep now.

Keep going!

Don't fall asleep!

Are you in a better mood?

Yes.

- Come on.

It's cool.

Our first training on the mountain together.

Right you are.

Let's go.

Tight stomach muscles!

Hands a little further forward.

Be compact.

Okay.

Better.

HOW ARE YOU?

GREAT.

CAN I CALL YOU LATER?

NO.

NO TIME.

Hey, Nawal.

What are you doing here?

I thought you have slalom training?

I don't.

I have to do those exercises for my leg.

Sorry, I didn't want to disturb you.

I just wake up better when I swim a little in the morning.

It's almost 11 am.

- Yes.

May I ask you something?

- Sure.

Do you think I'll make it to the top?

Why are you asking me?

Racing season will start in a month.

Look, as a top athlete it's sometimes important to take a step back.

Otherwise you get injured.

Trust me.

Is that why you ended your career this early?

No, with me it was a little more complicated.

Sorry.

It was a stupid question.

No, not at all.

But one day I had to realize that I couldn't keep going.

I had a little child at home and so on.

Nikki can be glad you're his dad.

Maybe.

Had I but seven hours for all, I should not on the Devil call, but win her by my own persuasion.

Your bliss is by no means so great, as if you'd use, to get control, all sorts of tender rigmarole.

Gigantic.

698,000.

The second largest in Europe.

HI, SISTER.

I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM YOU IN A LONG TIME.

I MISS YOU ALL A LOT!

IF YOU MISS US SO MUCH YOU COULD COME OVER FOR A WEEKEND AND HELP!

I'll tell everyone what you did.

She writes to me again.

- Just block her number.

Albin, I need your help.

She wants to know about Auer and I have no idea what to tell her.

Tina, I repeat: Just block her number.

- But I feel like I owe her one.

Check yourself!

- Paul was your friend, too.

But it's too late.

- Is it?

Fuck!

Shitty slalom!

Dammit!

You had great times today.

Mark will be happy.

- I don't care.

What do you mean?

Nikki?

Hello?

Sorry, I just wanted to talk because I messed up the last training.

Yes.

- Do you have a tip for me to improve?

Train, train, train.

We'll see everything else in the video analysis.

Hey, Nawal.

Are you making progress?

It's getting better.

But I'm sick of it.

Racing season will start in two weeks and I haven't done any slalom training yet.

I already spoke to Franziska whether you can't join in sooner.

Really?

- Yes.

Hungry?

Hello.

Hello.

Nikki, you want to sit down with us?

Nikki?

Hey!

That's your way to the top?

Crawling?

Nikolaus, stop!

Nikki!

Nikki, what is this shit?

Nikki, stop!

What is this?

You haven't looked at me in three days.

What's wrong with you?

You tell me about responsibility and discipline.

And as soon as nobody's looking you go home and booze?

Yes, I was at yours.

You didn't even realize.

Mark?

Hello.

- Hello.

Hello, Robert.

May I briefly sit down with you?

I have to tell you something.

It's about Paul.

Do you know... ...what "the talk" is at our school?

Look, Paul was talented.

But at our school we only find out after two or three years whether a child has what it takes for the world cup.

And once we know it won't work out, we have the talk.

It's about telling the child gently that it should focus on a different career.

The parents are usually present for that talk.

But Paul didn't want that.

He said it would be fine.

That he already talked to you and had a plan.

That same evening he... We have the talk with so many children.

Every year.

Did he never tell you anything?

I won't grant you absolution for what you did to my child.

Katrin?

Katrin?

Are you still awake?

You smell of alcohol.

Go back to bed.

Nikki, finally tell me what's wrong.

Come on.

- Leave me alone.

Come.

Okay, what are you doing?

Hello.

- Take your skis.

What are we doing here?

Waxing.

I surely won't wax my skis now.

It helps.

Yes?

Take off your jacket.
