The
film tells the tale of the incredible and mysterious life of Hermann
Keinwunder, a great but forgotten climber. A historic reconstruction in
documentary style, including interviews with famous climbers and
specialists, it brings to light the astonishing feats of the Trentino
climber, certainly one of the lost fathers of modern climbing, also
thanks to the discovery of new archive material. It is a journey
exploring the enigma of the man, a journey that also offers the
spectator a new and fascinating perspective on modern climbing history.
