The film was shot during the first ascent by a Trentino expedition to the huge eastern face of the cenral tower of Paine. The film shows the true reality of this wonderful part of Patagonia without any previous preparation or subsequent reconstruction. The characteristic scenes filmed on the mountain face often in extremely difficult conditons and in severe surroundings are contrasted with the images of a wonderful and unusual nature, the undisputed kingdom of great mountaineers.
