‎In the vibrant heart of summer 2025, a powerful and intimate 52-minute documentary comes to life, telling the story of an extraordinary journey: that of Alessandro de Bertolini and Silvia Baldessarelli, together with their children Lorenzo (4 years old) and Bianca (1 year old), around the Stelvio National Park.‎

‎

‎On bicycles, equipped with a tent and sleeping bags, the family embarks on a circular route through the most spectacular peaks and valleys of the Alpine Arc, crossing some of the most iconic mountain passes in Europe.‎ The journey becomes the foundation for a twofold narrative: on one hand, a cultural and geographical exploration of the areas traveled – from Val di Rabbi to Val di Peio, from the Gavia Pass to the Cancano Lakes, up to the grandeur of the Stelvio Pass – and on the other, a daily chronicle of life on the road, made up of simple gestures, small challenges, and moments of wonder shared as a family.

Told through a travel-diary style of storytelling, the documentary explores the dynamics of “slow mobility” — a conscious choice to rediscover time, silence, and harmony with the environment.In this circular journey around the Ortles-Cevedale Group, the images are never just landscapes: they become windows into a fragile and precious balance between humans and nature, and a chance to reflect on the deeper meaning of protected natural reserves.

‎

The symbolic title Lo Stelvio raccontato ai miei figli (“The Stelvio Told to My Children”) captures the heart of the project: an authentic attempt to educate — not instruct — in respect, beauty, and the fragility of the natural world.‎ In the background, the relationship between parents and children becomes a quiet and moving thread, woven through glances, questions, and shared discoveries.It’s a story that becomes both testimony and invitation: to inhabit the mountains with slowness, attentiveness, and wonder.
