Synopsis

Spoiler shield

In St. Moritz, the best master runners fight for the victory palm in ski jumping. After the award ceremony, it is decided to go on a fox hunt through the Engadine, and the winner of the ski race, Hannes Schneider, is chosen as the fox. He is not allowed to cross certain limits and must be captured by midnight. 25 of the best runners chase him on skis through the uniquely beautiful landscape in this scavenger hunt. He misleads them again and again with clever traps and gains more and more advantage.
