Arrival at the Weekender: the Projekt Pommes guys sit at the improvised cash desk. For three euros admission you get a penguin stamp on your hand. It takes a while for the movie to start, but with a beer and live music from Marco Tribelhorn - what else can he do? - there is time for small talk ("Hey, long time no see! How was the summer? What are you doing in winter?"). Most of the audience know each other, as is usual in Innsbruck, and most of them also know someone involved in the film. The atmosphere is that of a relaxed house party with the extended family of Innsbruck freestylers-who-sometimes-go-on-tours. We realize that a) we are somehow quite old and b) we are no longer up to date in terms of style.
After Tribi has finished his set, the film starts. Divided into individual "rhythms", we accompany the protagonists through a winter - starting with the first snowflakes while mountain biking in the autumnal intro to the last spring session and a final sequence at the bathing lake. In between are various self-contained "rhythms" that show stylized ski days of the versatile crew. Sometimes it's about ski touring in the snowy forest, sometimes about backcountry kickers (building and jumping), then again about cliff and tricky minigolf lines or a hut tour with big mountain terrain. The whole thing is accompanied by music written and recorded especially for the film by Electric Sun, a Swiss psychedelic rock band. The Weekender audience rewards every stylish trick and beautiful fall with applause and cheering.
