In 1988, Jamaica surprised everyone by entering a bobsled team at the Winter Olympics.

This cheerful comedy is about how that unlikely sporting adventure started: with a bunch of

sprinters not quite good enough for the Olympic team looking for another sport to suit them,

and deciding to ignore the lack of snow on their island by picking the bobsled! They practise

using sleds with wheels, but then have the shock of dealing with real icy conditions when they

get to Canada. A sweet and funny film.
