A walker takes a rough walk through the winter landscapes around Asiago where everything evokes the experiences, the landscapes and the men narrated by the writer Mario Rigoni Stern. There, the monologue against the war from the one who began writing “A Sergeant in the snow” on the Russian front, gives the advance its entire metaphorical dimension.
