In the middle of Europe, the Alps stand out impressively against the horizon. Home to many animal species whose fates intertwine among these peaks: from the grass frogs that embark on long journeys of love to the extraordinary choreographies of the white-throated dipper to gain his partner. Through a privileged and fresh look at life, love, difficulties and strategies adopted by these animals, we are able to discover that it’s not always the stronger who prevail but those who help each other.
