The Adige river was used to transport goods from remote times up to historically recent years. This film tells the story of the Adige when it was the most important means of communication between Bolzano and Verona. It shows old rafts full of sacks and a barge being drawn upstream, from Verona to Bolzano by horses on the banks. And there is a love story that shows the difficult life and relationships between the mountain paesants and raftsmen.
