This documentary portrays three mountain rescuers on the Dachstein. This film gives an insight into their every-day life, witnesses their dramatic rescue operations and tries to find out how every individual person copes with the often very tragic accidents. They have one thing in common: they know the Dachstein not only as mountain rescuers, they also live and work on this marvellous mountain, as an alpine host, a mountain farmer or a mountain guide.
