Mirella Tenderini is a writer, translator, discoverer of literary treasures from around the world, and a mountain woman. In the 1960s, she managed several refuges in Switzerland and Italy with her husband, the renowned mountaineer Luciano Tenderini. Mirella is immense, and this documentary dedicated to her retraces her intense life. A life perhaps a little uncomfortable, made up of many chapters and many turning points. A life in which each of us can perhaps find a little piece of our own history.
