Filmed by Loris Balandi in the 1960s, the film depicts friends and family after a hike to the Cross of Punta Sofia on Corno alle Scale. The group stops near Lake Scaffaiolo, a small glacial lake at 1,775 meters above sea level, on the border between Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany. A man observes the horizon through binoculars, a boy eats a sandwich, while the women admire the landscape.
