MATTI (Hell is for Heroes)


2 p.m.

The famous ski-jumper Matti Nykänen won everything possible during his career: four Olympic gold medals, seven World Championship titles, four World Cup tour championships and 46 World Cup-circuit victories. Once his career as a professional athlete ended, however, the other side of his personality emerged into public view in all its vulgarity. Wherever he roams, drama and catastrophe dog his footsteps. And everything is exposed in the headlines the next day. This is based on the true story of a man who loved ski jumping so much that he became the best in the world, but whose life is littered with crash landings. Matti stumbles, falls, and miraculously gets back to his feet – ready to take on yet another doomed and foolhardy jump.
