Roger Schäli and Stefan Siegrist share a close connected past in their young twenties. They started their climbing career together, living in a shared house in Interlaken. It was the crib where they started and planned their expeditions and future lives. Both became famous alpinists, but throughout the different tasks in life, they became alienated. But what used to connect them - climbing, mountains, alpinism, still works today. Roger and Stefan are daring and daunting another first ascent and are winning back their 'lost friendship'. The film tries to take a look at what goes on behind the scenes and tell the mutual story of two exceptional climbers.

A film portrait about the young world-class climber Alexander Megos. The viewers go on a four-part journey in search of the secret formula as they join Alex on his travels and during his climbing projects and get to know his home and origin. The viewers try to find proof, leaning on basic concepts from physics like gravity, friction, momentum, and others, of the existence of the formula. All four episodes take a look at Alex from different vantage points and different subject areas, always connected to an analogy from physics. The search for the formula leads to the conclusion that Alex is more than the sum of his traits.
