O filmu
V noči na 22. april 2002 se je popolnoma spremenilo Galovo otroštvo. Zaspi in ko se naslednjič prebudi, ne čuti več svojih nog. Zgodila se ni prav nobena nesreča in nihče mu ne zna povedati, kaj se dogaja. Počuti se osamljenega v prazni sobi, polni strahu. Strah pred obupom. Je popolnoma na tleh, ko se vendarle zave, da biti na tleh lahko pomeni le eno. Da greš lahko od tamo samo še navzgor! Zgrabi priložnost in ponovno napolni prazno sobo s stvarmi, ki ga osrečujejo. Svojo strast odkrije v sedečem smučanju, kar mu povrne gotovost in akcijo, nekaj, kar je ves ta čas neizmerno pogrešal. Zazdi se mu, da ponovno zaživi. Spozna lepo dekle, Nino, kar odpre novo poglavje v njegovem življenju. Kmalu jo zaprosi za roko, a niti teden kasneje Nina izve, da ima raka na dojki. Kljub vsem preprekam Gal ne obupa nad svojimi otroškimi sanjami, da bo nekoč dosegel vrh Stola. Končno prispe na vrh gore s helikopterjem in jo premaga – po strmini navzdol s sedečimi smučmi. Jadranje med neokrnjenimi pobočji na sedečih smučeh je popolnoma drugačno, kot si je zamišljal v otroštvu, vendar se je pot, ki jo je moral premostiti, da je prišel do sem, popolnoma izplačala. Na svoji poti se je naučil ostati močen takrat, ko je najhuje in nikoli obupati, kar ga le še bolj bogati.

Synopsis
The night of 22nd April 2002 completely changes Gal’s childhood. He goes to sleep and wakes up not feeling his legs. There was no real accident and nobody is able to tell him what is going on. He ends up feeling as if he is alone in an empty room filled with nothing but fear. A fear of despair. He has hit rock bottom. It is a struggle until he realises that being at rock bottom means only one thing. That the only way you can go is up! He takes an opportunity to fill the empty room again in the way he wants -‐ with things that bring him joy. He finds his passion in sit skiing. This brings him back certainty and action, which he had been missing all along. He gets that feeling of being alive again. He meets a gorgeous girl, Nina, and this opens a new chapter in his life. After a while he proposes to her but not even a week later, their life takes another twist as Nina is diagnosed with breast cancer. Despite all the setbacks, Gal never gives up on his childhood goal to achieve Mountain Great Chair. He finally reaches the mountain with a helicopter and conquers it -‐ downwards with his sit ski. Sailing through the untamed slopes of the mountain on his sit ski is totally different from how he had imagined it during his childhood dreams, but the path he had to take made it worthwhile. The ability to stay strong at downtimes and never give up, the things he learned on the way and the people he met. All of which made him richer. Up to a most surprising revelation: how the most important goal may be achieved when we are finally ready to let go of our own…
