Bergfahrt

After years of mass tourism in the Alps, a rethink is slowly taking place. Many are trying to see the nature of the mountains in a new way. The film conveys perspectives that go beyond those commonly held about mountains. A Japanese performance couple approaches the mountain through legends and myths. A mountaineer talks about the friend she lost on the north face of the Eiger. A mountain railwayman also explains his position. They reflect contrasting approaches in these critical times, in which we have to redefine the values we have learnt and actively seek change.
