This fabulous story about a mountain community is based on the rumors and fairy tales of this region and draws on the origins of these stories – the hard life of the people of the Giant Mountains. Something new arrived to these mountains at the start of the 1900s – skiing. And skiing is at the heart of this story whose main heroes are two little boys and their friend, a famous smuggler with all the qualities of the Lord of the Giant Mountains from fairy tales.
