In the 1950s the largest industrial engineering conglomerates and the most famous Italian and foreign movie directors came together for an appointment with history, high in the mountains and along the rivers of Trentino. Against the background of the construction of the main hydroelectric power plants in the region, the “men of light”, namely those behind the monumental hydroelectric energy enterprise, became the protagonists in the work of other “men of light”, namely those working in the field of cinema, ready to immortalise the historic moment. A journey down memory lane, touching on energy, work, the environment and cinema.
