A documentary which talks about the mountains, touching on their relationship with the subject of art and which when it talks about art suggests some points of view which in their turn, take us back to the mountains through art. This cross-referencing is assisted by a shared and deep-rooted association with wood, a material which dominates in the culture and sculpture of the Val Gardena. The stories of three artists interweave and are compared during this process. Tone, who would seem to see sculpture as a precious way of expressing history and tradition. Aron, who carves great trunks to understand and explore contemporary art. Egon, who has abandoned sculpture to pursue a philosophical itinerary and who finds his solution in iconoclasm and hermitage.
