After the avalanche disaster, Luca is threatened with expulsion and mother Laura is threatened with a lawsuit from the academy. Head coach Franziska rejects such brutal methods. She wants athletes who don't follow blind discipline. She goes on a collision course with the tough assistant coach Veighofer.
