In the cold Eastern Alps, "agro rebel" Sepp Holzer works miracles - such as growing lemons at an altitude of 1300 meters. In the idyllic valley of Oetztal Messner encounters extremes: the legends of local historian Hans Haid and the ski-lift machinery of tourist manager Jakob Falkner. Traffic engineer Michael Prachensky presents his "Talpino" project, which could move containers across the Alps on air cushions. Excerpts from Luis Trenker's World War I film classic "Mountains in Flames"are contrasted with the peaceful development of South Tyrol, commented by Reinhold Messner in his mountain museum at Sigmundskron castle.
