Pietro is a city boy, Bruno is the last child to live in a forgotten village in the Aosta Valley. They become friends in this hidden corner of the Alps that serves as their kingdom. Life takes them apart without being able to separate them completely. While Bruno remains faithful to his mountain, Pietro travels the world. During this journey, they will experience love and loss, their origins and their destinies, but above all, a life and death friendship.
