A wall that could not even be more exciting, more beautiful and more dangerous: the Red Wall of the Roda di Vael. The film tells, with the commentary of Reinhold Messner, the most exciting stories about it, reviewing the most incredible sports performances. The original footage from the 1960s is accompanied by reproduced scenes and close-ups of climbing. Climbers such as Christoph Heinz, Erich Abram, Hanspeter Eisendle, Claudio Baldassari, Oswald Ceva report their testimonies, and the Riegler brothers, for the occasion, climb the wall for the umpteenth time, accompanied in their path by cameras fixed to a helicopter.
