The Four Hills Tournament (Hoppuka) is a crocked and enjoyable travelogue from the German-Austrian ski jump tournament towns. It is a journey into a peculiar and colourful universe that is seldom caught by the TV-cameras, with oompa bands, Polish tourists and talkative Russian sports journalists. But it is also a bitter sweet travel in time, back to the golden age of ski jumping. A time when all of Norway sat glued to the TV screen on New Years Day waiting for hours for the first Norwegian jumper, only to see him fail.
