Samir et Stéphane, deux amis de Grenoble, fabriquent des skis de fond de compétition de haute qualité, mais leur entreprise est au bord de la faillite le jour où l'athlète suédois qui devait participer aux Jeux Olympiques avec des skis de leur marque décide de se tourner vers un autre fabricant. Stéphane convainc alors Sam de reprendre le ski de fond et de tenter de se qualifier pour les Jeux sous les couleurs de l'Algérie, le pays de son père. Un défi immense mené au prix d'un entraînement intensif car Sam, qui a passé la quarantaine, n'est plus aussi en forme que par le passé. La fédération algérienne lui promet une bourse de 20 000 dollars pour ses frais sportifs, ce qui va lui donner l'occasion de revenir en Algérie et de redécouvrir ses racines et sa famille, lui qui ne parle même pas l'arabe. Le défi sportif est immense, tant sur le plan physique que parce que la survie de l'entreprise dépend de sa réussite. Son père, qui a tout fait pour que ses enfants réussissent en France, y croit, et prépare aussi un beau cadeau à Sam : lui offrir tous ses oliviers au bled pour qu'il redevienne un jour, comme lui, un paysan algérien actif fier de ses valeurs ancestrales.

The film provides an insight into an incident at the 1968 Summer Olympics which saw two United States athletes, Tommie Smith and John Carlos, give the black power salute from the victory dais after the 200 metres final. The film focuses on the third man on the dias, silver medal winner Peter Norman, who showed his support for Smith and Carlos by donning an "Olympic Project for Human Rights" (OPHR) badge on his way to the podium. It was also Norman who suggested to Smith and Carlos that they share the black gloves used in their salute, after Carlos had left his gloves in the Olympic Village. This is the reason for Smith raising his right fist, while Carlos raised his left. Asked later about his support of Smith and Carlos' cause by the world's press, Norman said he opposed his country's government's White Australia policy.
