The documentary, made for the fiftieth anniversary of the foundation of the Shutzen of Alto Adige, illustrates the history and vicissitudes of these multicoloured groups of marksmen from the Middle Ages to the present day and is based on the historical events of the time. A number of scenes of the past, taken from films or television programmes, are used to complete the historical narration of these voluntary groups joined in a sort of alpine troop, instituted statutorily for the purpose of defending the multilingual Tyrolese territory.
