Synopsis

Valle d'Aosta in sixty years of history.
The identity of Valle d’Aosta, the autonomy question, the political way from 1948 to nowadays through a no-chronological narration, changing from one theme to another with analogy, emotions and images.

The documentary offers a sixty years long journey through four typical environments of Valle d’Aosta:

The power station of Champagne has an internal dimension like that of the Sistine Chapel (it is called the Cathedral of Light), and recalls us the importance of water in the economy of the valley.

The Mont Blanc cableway takes us back to the beauties of the landscape and confirms the Alpine dimension of the region.

The castle of Fenis is a symbol of the medieval and renaissance history of the region
.
The Fort of Bard, the Museum of the Alps office, where, in 2007, was entered the protocol for the Alps-Mediterranean Euroregion, testifies the modern dimension of Valle d'Aosta, which has exceeded its isolation Alpine system.

The conclusion of the documentary is left to the inhabitants of Valle d'Aosta.
A sequence of faces that revels the evolution of the identity of a region.
