The Tatra Mountains, the highest range between the Alps and tjhe Caucasus, belong partly to Poland and partly to Slovakia. The film recounts the mystery of these mountains and of mankind whose essence is hidden in the depths of nature. A man will never be able to understand the absolute , trascendent value of nature, but he can touch it learn its feature and love it through humbleness. Revealing the forces of nature becomes a journey into the soul of the human being.
