Two friends play in the streets overshadowed by Trento’s tower blocks, turning their gaze towards the mountains. A few years later they will often find themselves climbing the peaks together; and it is no longer a game. Like the day in 1954 on which Cesare led Luciano into a challenge that was to become very complicated. This film is a recollection, narrated personally by the voice of Cesare Maestri, of a dramatic climb on the Brenta with his friend Luciano Eccher. An experience of extreme climbing, danger and rescue that has become part of the history of the mountains.
