A year of observing the cable car on the Italian side of Mont Blanc before the closure in 2020. A place where the machinery, workers and users are the main players in a spectacle designed to overcome the limitations of modern times. While it portrays the daily routine and the behaviour of visitors, the film explores the relationship between technology, tourism and mountaineering, cities and modernity, observation and image, and representation and experience.
