«Obsession» is a sports documentary about snowboarding, mountains, and the people for whom snow and movement become a way of life.
But even more than that, it is a film about obsession - about the force that keeps a person returning again and again to the cold, the risk, and the unknown, just for a few seconds of true flight.
The film was shot over several years in some of the most remote and beautiful places on Earth - from the mountains of Kyrgyzstan to Kamchatka and the Alps.
There are no staged scenes and no actors in this film.
Everything you see is real.

Тизер
The characters are athletes, filmmakers, and mountain guides who share a simple truth: once snowboarding becomes part of your life, it is almost impossible to walk away - even when your body is tired and life tries to lead you in other directions.
The film also reflects the passing of experience from one generation to the next.
Today's professional riders, who were once inspired by older generations, are now passing on their knowledge, values, and passion to the younger riders just beginning their journey.
Obsession is a story about this connection between generations - and about how this inner drive helps preserve the culture of snowboarding in its purest form: as a search for freedom, creativity, and honesty with oneself.
This is not a commercial and not an extreme sports show.
It is a documentary statement about people who live in harmony with nature - and about mountains that teach respect, humility, and inspiration.
