Facing the difficulties of the mountain and attempting a climb on rock with ropes and pitons, hanging in space, could be, or represent, a figurative expression of the difficulty of “life”. The film shows the experience of a group of boys, living in the Arca di Como Community, who are trying to overcome their problems of drug addiction attending a course on alpinism. Each boy has different memories and stories to tell about his past experiences which created the problems he is now trying to solve, also with the aid of mountains.
