Synopsis
- The students of the Talander School in Wangen in southern Germany are very special children and adolescents. From a very early age on each of them has had to cope with various problems: ADHD, learning difficulties, tough family/parent situations, not fitting in anywhere. Together with their teachers these students, aged 13 and 14, tackled a huge challenge - they crossed the Alps to Italy on foot in a three-week long hike.
The film documents their adventure from the students’ point of view. They talk about their own life experiences and what they have experienced on this trek with moving candidness. The viewer cannot help but be drawn into their personal conflicts and inner struggles, their defeats and victories.
