What Is White Ecstasy About?

The premise of White Ecstasy without spoilers.

Set in a winter‑sport capital, the film follows daring young Leni on her second ski‑resort visit. Instructors organize a “fox‑hunt” with Leni and Hannes as the foxes, chased by about 40 skiers after a fifteen‑minute delay. The movie showcases spectacular high‑speed skiing rather than plot.
