Brief Synopsis:

Climate change and endangered glaciers raise thoughts in those who, like Michele Cucchi, mountain guide and rescuer, live mountains as a passion and work. Today’s challenge is no longer to conquer new peaks but to develop projects that preserve the fragile ecosystem and help those who live in the mountains. Furthermore, due to the glaciers withdrawal, not only traces of our passage, but also missing bodies, reappear as if they travelled in a time machine. From Karakorum, to the Matterhorn and to Nepal, Michele wants to preserve the memory and protect these environments. He is facing a dilemma: despite our raising environmental awareness, are our today’s solutions – perhaps – just “the lesser evil”?
