The documentary tells the story of a group of young visually impaired CUS athletes from Bologna, who share a passion for climbing. They are determined adolescents with amazing willpower, tackling one of the most difficult sporting disciplines, demanding a combination of motor intelligence and mental control. Watching them climb generates amazement and admiration, as does the extraordinary relationship of trust that they establish with their coach: a profound relationship, incorporating technical, educational and social elements that transform sport into a training ground for life.
