Florian and Martin Riegler are brothers, but they could not be more different. They decide to attempt a difficult first ascent of the Gran Zebru in the Ortles mountain range in Alto Adige in the middle of winter. The documentary recounts not only a spectacular undertaking, but also the search for the meaning of life, personal fulfilment and a fight against serious illness.
