We follow Luciano De Crignis in a long meditated extreme skiing feat on two faces of the same mountain on the same day. The mountain is Canin, in the Julian Alps, 2587 metres high but like an environment at five thousand metres. The film also underlines the friendship between the director and the skier, where the former is totally fascinated by the latter’s love for the environment.
