This portrait of Luis Trenker depicts the ups and downs of a long journey through life, the difficult balance between Hitler and Mussolini, between adaptation and resistance, between contemporary tastes and cinematic art. Trenker's career is a piece of film history and at the same time reflects the history of South Tyrol in the 20th century. As a mountain fanatic and outdoorsman, as a charming chat-maker and crowd favorite, he will be unforgettable: Luis Trenker. Little is known that he was one of the pioneers of mountain films and that his life was closely interwoven with the political ups and downs in his home region of South Tyrol.
