Facing the difficulties of the mountain and attempting a climb on rock with ropes and pitons, hanging in space, could be, or represent, a figurative expression of the difficulty of ‘life’.
The film narrates the experience of a group of boys, living in the Arca di
Como Community, who are trying to overcome the problems of drug addiction by attending a course on alpinism. Each boy has different memories and stories which forced him into this sad situation and created the problems he is now trying to solve, also with the help of mountains.
