Nikki is a promising ski talent, but what he lacks is the discipline to get to the top. He got into the academy easily, and not just because his father is the principal. Skiing is in Nikki's blood, but what he is really looking for is his place in life. He wants to rebel against his father, but also wants to reconcile with him after moving to Switzerland with his mother following his parents' divorce. At school, he learns about the deceased pupil Paul, a boy who Nikki's father allegedly drove to suicide. Between the first attempts to get closer to Nawal and Dani, Nikki has to avoid the hostility in the village and get to the bottom of it.
