Mountaineering ascents are often recounted in terms of values, grades and sporting performance. In a society that forces us to be efficient, are we therefore condemned to success? On a small expedition to an unexplored other place, a wished-for and necessary space, the rockfaces are transformed: from undisputed protagonists to valuable backdrop for a story of friendship, relationships and mountaineering as a cure for the soul.

It is an intimate and silent direction that draws us into the journey of Alessandro, Alberto, Armando and Matteo, four climbers who find themselves in an undefined place, almost suspended in time. An unexplored “elsewhere”, where pure mountaineering performance leaves space for adventure, irony, the authenticity of bonds and the desire to find one's own personal equilibrium, far from superfluous needs and the standards of modern society. A struggle against fear, in which the relationship between man and nature aligns with the values of Club alpino italiano.
