Die junge Berlinerin Leni treibt durch ihre Ungeschicklichkeit den Skilehrer Hannes zur Verzweiflung. Dank der Hilfe zweier nicht minder unbegabter Hamburger Zimmerleuten gelingt es ihr nichtsdestotrotz, den ersten Preis eines Gästerennens zu gewinnen.  Im darauffolgenden Jahr nimmt Leni, mittlerweile eine passable Skiläuferin, gemeinsam mit Hannes an einer Fuchsjagd auf Skiern teil, deren Ziel es ist, die Skimützen der Füchse zu erbeuten. Der Spaß entwickelt sich zu einem gefährlichen Wettrennen, das aber ein gutes Ende nimmt.

Another masterpiece by one of Germany's most reknown directors, Arnold Fanck (though he did almost bankrupt Universal Studios Germany with his wasteful filming of scenery in Greenland in S.O.S. Eisberg).  Although made in 1931, this film still amazes today. The story is simple:  Leni, a daring young girl, is visiting a ski-resort she has been to once before. The local ski-teatchers agree to organise a "fox-hunt" for her. Leni and Hannes are "the foxes", and about 40 other skiers will have to catch them, giving the two girls a 15 minute delay.   It's not the story that makes this film, but the extremely spectacular, thrilling shots of skiiers doing their thing. How many of the cast members broke their bones in making this picture is a question every viewer will ask himself.   On the other hand, the film also shows us the beauty and delight of skiing.   If you have the chance to see this picture, don't miss it: you won't regret it, even if you are not in the least interested in skiing or sports.
