Summer 1932. Gabriele Boccalatte and Ninì Pietrasanta meet on the Mont Blanc: they climb together and fall in love. Until 1936 they live their great mountaneering season opening some of the most difficult routes in the Alps as climbing partners. A few years after Ninì's death, their son finds in an old trunk the images shot by his mother.
