The drama The Last Race recounts the true story of ski race in 1913, when the Giant Mountain peaks became the backdrop to the dramatic events. By studying the historical records it has been possible to reconstruct the race almost minute by minute, though the exact details must remain forever a mystery.
The film also shows life in the Giant Mountains at the beginning of the century amid the poverty and grinding hardship of the local community, and in particular it highlights relations between the native Czech and German populations.
