Skating king Hans Hellemo grew up under difficult conditions. His father's highest dream in life was for his son to go to college. Hans works as a truck driver, and the rest of the time he practices skating. His father watches with bitterness how his son's friends go off to college one by one, while his son is still working. Eventually it dawns on Hans that it is not enough to just be a skating king. He marries and has children. Hans wants to retire from the sport, but his fame prevents him: the people keep demanding that he show up. With the help of his wife, however, he takes the step and prepares for his last big race.
