Premio "Città di Imola"
Ed. 2024
The vertiginous peaks of the Marmolada's south face are the setting for the conquest of “Madre Roccia”, a route uncompleted for many years, unique and inaccessible. Four tenacious climbers and four generations, side by side, a perfect combination of technique, intuition, imagination, talent and irony. In addition to the pure and exciting sense of vertical adventure, the film also highlights the serious fragility of our natural heritage due to inexorable climate change, also thanks to the testimony of refuge managers from Val Ombretta, fundamental in protecting and preserving the history of the Queen of the Dolomites.
