“A Perfect Run” is a portrait of three teenagers, all of them professional athletes. As members of German National Snowboardcross team, they all share the same goal: Winning medals for their country. During a long and hard winter’s season we follow the lives of Umito, Fillip and Celia at the boarding home in the small mountain village of Oberstdorf. Training camps, races, school exams and injuries. They master all of that – and puberty! How many sacrifices does it take to build a successful athlete’s career?
