The Elements

Earth, Water, Air. Three elements, three extreme sports, three extraordinary people. The fourth element burns in all of them.

The documentary film called The Elements reveals the nature of three extreme sports – alpine mountaineering, scuba diving, and BASE jumping, which are associated with the symbolism of the respective characteristic elements - Earth, Water, Air. The individual areas are then represented by strong professional sportsmen - by Marek Holeček, Michal Rišian and Martin Trdla. The motto of the project mentions the fourth element which burns in all of them. Martin Trdla's fire burned out in 2014 after an unsuccessful try to fly over the Czech highest mountain Sněžka during which Martin died tragically. In spite of the fact, or maybe for this fact, the authors decided to continue the project in an effort to introduce to the viewers the enormous enthusiasm of the main characters for their sports, which was, is and will be the essential part of the life of all of them. And all of this despite the continuity with the risk inherent in those sports.
