Logorai and Lake Tovel, in Trentino, are the background for an esoteric dialogue between a student and the mountain. This dialogue develops through seven tests to reach restoration, purity and vistory. A journey in man's psyche and the mountain in search of the archetyps that is has represented in the collective unconsciousness.
