Sandrine single-handedly challenges the extreme mountain, the only place in the world where she feels truly happy. Armando, an alpine guide now manager at high altitude, manages a babel of people storming Europe’s most important glacier, trying to prevent anyone from getting seriously hurt. Venturino does what he can to keep his refuge open, with the help of his young daughter Sofia, with whom he spends only a few months of the year. Daniela faces an uncertain future, perhaps she will lose her job, but if she manages to keep it, will she be able to reinvent herself and manage the big new refuge?
