This film is about the italian expedition "Fior D'Alpe" made in 1976 in Perù, in the southern part of Coridillera of Huahuash. The group included some experienced alpinists, hikers, and those employed in scientific research. During the expedition five inviolate peaks were climbed (between 5300 and 5800 m); three of these didn't have a name and were therefore called: Fior D'Alpe, Brixia and Micheli. The little known upper valley of Yanaica was also explored.
