It is a TV feature film, which tells the story of Stanisław Marusarz, a legendary ski jumper and precursor of Polish ski jumping. The film presents the story of his life, as well as the life of his sister Helena, a talented skier and member of the Resistance Movement, murdered by the Nazis in 1941. Stanisław Marusarz is not only a well-known Polish ski jumper but also the 1938 world vice-champion in Lahti, a four-time Olympian, a seven-time participant in the ski world championships, as well as a second lieutenant of the Home Army, a Tatra courier. From the first months of occupation, he actively worked as a courier of the Underground State and would deliver correspondence to Hungary. In 1940, he jumped from the second floor and escaped from the Gestapo prison in Cracow. After the war, he was one of the longest active ski jumping athletes in the world. Marusarz was a guest of honour at the Four Hills Tournament in the season 1965-1966. At the age of 53, he stood on the famous Gross-Titlis-Schanze (Large Titlis hill) and made his legendary show jump dressed in a suit and a tie.
