This documentary recounts the journey from Milan to Val di Mello by two modern-day, boulder-loving climbers and their relationship with rock, especially granite blocks. Enrico Baistrocchi and Davide Mardegan attempt to get across their vision of bouldering and their search for a graceful technique, one that belies the difficulty of this discipline. What emerges is a portrait of a new generation of climbers and their world, which, though different, it still very much a part of mountaineering history.
