As the freezing wind pushes down on the tree canopy and the cold penetrates to the bone, the call of the mountains to the Goddess of Winter is even stronger. While most people put their bikes in the garage to recuperate, two young Italian middle-aged men, Giorgio and Francesco, sense the call, climb the snowy wilderness on their bikes, build Alaskan snow huts, chop firewood, light campfires, cook steaks, and meet the wonders of the steppe in the vast expanse of the landscape.
They say the trip is to find "frozen blood", which only beats in the cold winter wilderness.
Firstly, we welcome our two protagonists, Hiorcio and Francesco, who at the moment are still spilling their guts, but will soon be stepping out into the vast, uninhabited snowfields.
The cold wind whistles through the mountains and the answers one seeks are right at the top. The ultimate view helps you overcome all the inertia and all you need to do is ride forward.
Enjoying the moment is clearly more important than who's fast or slow, what do you measure your life in, one birthday party or the number of times you hold your breath and give it your all?

The following film documenting the adventures of two Italian brothers who head to the snowy plains is a tribute to Hiorcio and Francesco's mutual friend, Walters Berry, who had a serious fall in his beloved downhill race, but the warrior didn't stop his embrace of the wilderness.
