A rugged rock stands in the storm, a peak of breathtaking beauty. Its history is written in blood. The attackers curse it as the "Mountain of Blood" and the defenders as the "Mountain of Iron." In the battle for this iconic summit, both sides demonstrated their heroic willingness to sacrifice. Thousands give their lives, some for "mia patria," others for "my homeland." The courage of the individual is forgotten. Yet the legend of the heroic stand of the three hundred Tyrolean marksmen and the bravery of the Italian attackers lives on. Tyrol, May 1915. The storm bells toll. The country is in danger: "The Walsche are coming!" Just like in 1809, Tyrol is once again reliant on itself. A "last resort" of Tyrolean marksmen must prevent disaster. Fifteen-year-olds stand watch on the summit alongside their grandfathers. They have no illusions - the struggle.
