In the summer of 1967, Giuseppe Lenzi documented the conclusion of his vacation in Aosta Valley, following his unsuccessful attempt to climb Mont Blanc. The sequence opens with panoramas of the surrounding mountains and glaciers, accompanied by the author's voice reflecting on the joy of the high-altitude experience, despite giving up on the summit. The images alternate between glimpses of streams, rocks, and glaciers, conveying the tranquility of the alpine landscape and the fragile presence of man on the mountains, destined—as Lenzi observes—to disappear “in millions and millions of years, subjected to the wear of time that flows as inexorably as the waters of this stream.”
