Synopsis:
A group of organizers attempts a pioneering undertaking: holding the first transnational ski race, and at the same time the highest in the world, at the foot of the Matterhorn. The goal is ambitious and represents a highly complex technical and logistical challenge, requiring commitment, preparation, and passion. However, the project fails to materialize as planned, highlighting the difficulties encountered along the way. The experience becomes an opportunity to address broader issues, such as climate protection and the consequences of environmental change on sporting activities. The story thus becomes a combination of ambition, human effort, and awareness of global challenges, offering a reflection on how even the most daring projects can encounter significant obstacles.
