He is undoubtedly one of the filmmakers who has filmed flight most and who has praised it most in his writings. Werner Herzog confesses that his frustrated dream of becoming a ski jumper led him to conquer the air through his camera and film. His portrait of Steiner, who he follows on the slopes just a few centimetres from his flight, has traces of a hagiography that tries to capture that angelical moment which has passed into our film heritage with the priceless soundtrack by Popol Vuh, in this flight slowed down to 20% of a hero of the sky. There is a stake in this film, a stake positioned at around 160 metres, which marks the point from which the jump exceeds human limits.  This stake is Herzog. He who passes it enters his film.
