- The Gerola Valley, a small side valley of the Valtellina, is known to be cool and offers its inhabitants ideal conditions to cope with the last seasonal efforts. The work in the valley is traditionally carried out quickly by the experienced hands of the inhabitants, who give the customs their own personal touch: baking bisciòle biscuits in the Castello oven, the search for sawn wood, the second hay cut, the search for boleti, the slippery jack mushrooms. Some customs remain the same, while others are renewed thanks to drastic life choices, such as those of Marco, the young university student who gave up his studies and now dedicates himself to running a mountain hut. Now, after a summer full of educational exchanges between maintenance work on cliffs and preparation of minestrone soups, Marco is thinking about his own future.
- Terrible mountains is what Leonardo da Vinci called the peaks that surround the Valtellina. They take the leading role in this story, which is rendered with the help of spectacular film footage and the stories of local inhabitants. With its dry stone walls - a masterpiece that has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO - Valtellina is a land of traditions, contrasts and breathtaking landscapes.From the Stelvio National Park, with its imposing Forni glacier, to the peat bog of Pian Gembro, and from the mysterious crotti of Chiavenna to the terraced vineyards on the Rhaetian slope. In an attentive and intimate way, the film takes the audience on a journey along the river Adda that crosses the entire valley. It begins in winter until the following autumn according to the infinite cycle of nature, which is a stern but honest friend of the people living in this land located in the far north of Italy.
