Stilfser Joch. Kreuzweg des Friedens ist ein Dokumentarfilm, der einem außergewöhnlichen Ort im Herzen Europas gewidmet ist. Mit seiner Struktur von Besucherinterviews, rhythmisierten Handlungen, Momenten des Innehaltens und Landschaftsbildern bemüht sich der Film um ein mit einem Hauch Spiritualität versehenes Bild des heutigen Stilfser Joch: Was bleibt von seiner gleichsam tragischen und glorreichen Vergangenheit, während der sich zwar nahestehende aber verfeindete Völker in der Kälte des Gebirgskrieges entgegentraten; welche Wahrheiten verbirgt und welche Möglichkeiten bietet es, wer lebt dort und wer besucht es; was stellt das Stilfser Jochheute dar?
Die Nordwände sind der Inbegriff des Extrembergsteigens. Dies gilt insbesondere für die Nordwände des Eigers, des Matterhorns, der Grandes Jorasses, des Piz Badile, der Großen Zinne und der Aiguille du Dru – sie verkörperten im 20. Jahrhundert die Ziele, die ein Bergsteiger erreicht haben musste, um dazuzugehören der Elite. Aber diese Mauern sind bis heute extreme Spielplätze geblieben. Sechs Dokumentarfilme zeigen die großen Nordwände der Alpen aus einem neuen und überraschenden Blickwinkel. Weltbekannte Kletterer wie Robert Jasper, Ueli Steck, Hansjörg Auer, Alexander Huber und Steve House beweisen mit Erstbegehungen und Solobegehungen Kletterkönnen auf höchstem Niveau. Spektakuläre Wandaufnahmen und atemberaubende Cineflex-Aufnahmen aus dem Helikopter lassen die Zuschauer das Geschehen hautnah miterleben.

Having recently earned his college degree, Lorenzo Primavera (Eddie Malavarca) leaves his home in Boston to travel to his family's ancestral homeland in Italy -- as was requested by his late grandfather. Upon arriving, Lorenzo is offered a short-term position as coach for an American-style football team by the team's manager, Giulio Fellini (Maurizio Nichetti). As the young American immerses himself in his new duties, he makes the acquaintance of Paola Angelini (Violante Placido) and the two begin a friendship that quickly blossoms into something more. In between spending time with Paola and working with the team, Lorenzo also begins investigating his own family's history and learns the reason for his grandfather's departure from Italy, as well as why his grandfather never returned to visit. As Lorenzo begins to forge an identity for himself in Italy -- not to mention strong romantic attachments to Paola -- he must eventually decide whether or not to return to the States.
