- No less than 170 kilometers by sea kayak before reaching a virgin wall called the "Siren Tower"
- "Patrick Berhault - Il Gesto e La Grazia" depicts, in 1997, the monument of climbing and mountaineering Patrick Berhault, evolving in bouldering and cliff climbing in Finale Ligure in Italy. Berhault, thanks to a very sustained physical training and a truly exceptional mind, revolutionizes the level of climbing but above all the approach to the mountain by developing a style of action based on speed, ethics and the beauty of the gesture. The Bérhault style was born. From the end of the 1970s, he therefore exploded the standards of climbing and mountaineering. On the one hand, free climbing in Europe by freeing the domed Pichenibule in the Gorges du Verdon, 7b+ in 1979 then by freeing the Haine 7c+ at La Turbie in 1981. And on the other hand, mountaineering with in particular the ascent of the north face of the Droites solo in a few hours and with Patrick Edlinger the winter of the slab route on the north face of the Ailefroide in breathtaking weather.
- The Cursed Mountains, Kanun, Blood debts, Vendetta. Tethered children, Truce, Honor restored, dishonored name. It is easy to become taken with the stories and places of tragic archaism, events that are difficult to comprehend in our modern times. A mere two hours away by plane from Zurich or Milan, northern Albania, although geographically close, is largely unknown to the rest of Europe. It remains hostile and unfathomable, largely because of its implacable customs and rituals. Only when an Albanian, fleeing some remote mountain region and the customs he has violated, is killed in the streets of Europe or America, do we remember this other corner of Europe... Last spring a film crew from TSI crossed the Cursed Mountains of northern Albania to look into the historical and social origins of the medieval laws that make up the Kanun, the Code. They recorded a series of tales of murder, desperate flight, lives struck dumb "tethered", by a modern mob, under the guise of an age-old tradition.
- Mauro Corona lives in Erto, in the Vajont valley. Passionate mountaineer, brilliant writer, playful protagonist of memorable company evenings crossed by lively discussions, he is also - perhaps above all - a talented sculptor of great expressive originality. The film is a portrait of the man and the artist in his social environment, but also a reflection on the sculptures which find direct and immediate inspiration in the mountains.
