Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
This wartime drama is set in 1936 and begins at the Winter Olympics. It centers on the three medalists of a skiing competition. The gold was awarded to a Russian, the silver to a Finn, and the bronze to an American. During the awards ceremony, the three pals proudly announce that war is a thing of the past. The story jumps three years into the future. Now the Russo-Finnish War is raging on the mountainous Manerheim border. Most of the battles are fought on skis and all of the 1936 Finnish team is there to save their country.
