Als Erster die berühmt-berüchtigte Nordwand des Eigers zu bezwingen - im Sommer 1936 ist das der Traum vieler Bergsteiger aus ganz Europa. Auch die Gedanken der beiden Kletterer - wobei Hinterstoißer die treibendere Kraft ist - um nichts anderes.

Mit feinem Gespür für Humor und Satire erzählt der Film von einer Kindheit, die zwischen Diktatur und dunklem Drama auch ihre leichten Momente findet.

After the fall of the military dictatorship in 1983, successive democratic governments launched a series of reforms purporting to turn Argentina into the world's most liberal and prosperous economy. Less than twenty years later, the Argentinians have lost literally everything: major national companies have been sold well below value to foreign corporations; the proceeds of privatizations have been diverted into the pockets of corrupt officials; revised labour laws have taken away all rights from employees; in a country that is traditionally an important exporter of foodstuffs, malnutrition is widespread; millions of people are unemployed and sinking into poverty; and their savings have disappeared in a final banking collapse. The film highlights numerous political, financial, social and judicial aspects that mark out Argentina's road to ruin.

Twenty-two-year-old Antek grows up in a deeply religious and radical right-wing family in contemporary Poland. Catholicism, nationalism and especially celibacy define his world. Filmmaker Hanka Nobis follows him and his friends of the Brotherhood, a small group of like-minded young men, for more than four years. Antek leads them in survival camps and at anti-pride demonstrations. At the same time, he is curious about the world, and mostly, about the women in it.
