Bruno is the lone surviving member of a long-forgotten mountain community, whereas Pietro is a city lad. Bruno has remained devoted to his mountain over the years, although Pietro comes and goes. As Pietro and Bruno learn what it is to be real friends for life, their interactions with one another introduce them to love and sorrow, serve as a reminder of their origins, and allow their destinies to blossom.
