Andreas Egger is around four, though no one is sure, when he is brought to the mountain valley that will be his home for good. Growing up as a hired hand on a farm, he becomes strong, and later signs up with the men laying an early cable car that carries power, electric lamps and din up into the valley. One day he meets Marie, the woman he will love above all others. Decades on, close to his end, he looks back astonished at all that time.
