- Guido Magnone's incredible adventure begins strangely on the banks of the Ourcq canal among a group of kids who dream of swimming. Guido, the solitary son of "rital", dives to get noticed, succeeds, takes a liking to it, breaks his first record, collects medals. At the same time, he draws, attends the Beaux-Arts, is accepted with open arms and befriends the sculptors César and Féraud. At the end of the war, during a health stay in Chamonix, it is love at first sight for the mountains, climbing. Guido's ascent is now dizzying. He stormed the west face of the Drus, then the Fitzroy and the Tour de Mustagh, summits reputed to be impossible. He rubs shoulders with the greatest, Lionel Terray, Maurice Herzog, and participates in the Makalu expedition, camera in hand, or those of Jannu and Chacraraju. Later, in his fifties, Guido hangs up the carabiners and participates in the foundation of the UCPA.

- Through the files of Cuban cinema news program Noticieros ICAIC Latinoamericanos, the documentary shows the most relevant events of the second half of the 20th century as seen by the documentary filmmakers of the island.

In 2009, the original negatives of Noticieros ICAIC Latinoamericanos were declared part of the "world memory" by UNESCO.
- What compels a man to push ever higher the limits of accessibility? After thirty years of fierce struggle with the highest peaks on earth, Marc Batard has finally found the answers to these questions. He had to tread the summit of Everest twice, including once by smashing the speed record in 24 hours without oxygen to the summit, to climb the most difficult faces of the Alps to see the way of inner healing. It was through physical suffering that he was able to confront the evil of the soul. That he was finally able to talk about the violence of childhood, the shock dragged like a ball and chain for decades. His summit therapy accomplished, Marc Batard talks about himself in this documentary by Gilles Perret.
