In 1922, the oldest national park in Italy was established there. Its symbol is the ibex, an ungulate that was indiscriminately hunted for centuries, particularly during the fascist era. With the creation of the park, the mountainous valley found a new balance, and its species repopulated, thanks to the efforts of park rangers, including Claudia, a married mother of two, and Martino, a 60-year-old man caring for his mother. Despite seemingly opposite personalities, they share a passion for nature. Being employees of the Gran Paradiso is no simple mission: long weeks in solitude, challenging hikes, and eventful days. The story unfolds with two individuals who never cross paths, their narratives interwoven with those of the species inhabiting the park. It's a film that testifies to how humans and nature can live in complete symbiosis through a relationship of interdependence.
