A nature study expedition leads from the icy slopes of the Aconcagua, the highest mountain in South America, to the Patagonian steppe. The story staged by Christian Baumeister presents a puma family who struggles for survive in the rough Torres del Paine National Park. Furthermore, we see fighting stag beetles, torrent ducks in icy mountain creeks, and powerful Andean condors on their search for nutrition. The eco-system is endangered by naturalized beavers and violent volcano eruptions.
