The railway age in the Austrian Empire began with the construction of the horse-drawn railway from Linz to Budweis. Plans soon followed to connect the imperial capital of Vienna with the iron and coal deposits in northern Moravia and with the port city of Trieste. In 1837 the Kaiser Ferdinands Nordbahn was opened, in 1857 the Semmeringbahn planned by Karl Ritter von Ghega, overcoming one of the most difficult obstacles on the way to the Adriatic. The crossing of the Alps by train, such as over the Arlberg or the Brenner, is still considered a unique engineering masterpiece. The expansion of the railway network brought epochal changes. Goods and people circulated on an unprecedented scale – life accelerated. It had succeeded in connecting the northern crown lands such as Silesia or Bohemia and Moravia with Carinthia, Tyrol or the coastal region.

The Tagliamento, known as the "King of the Alpine Rivers," is considered Europe's last untamed river. Its course stretches from the peaks of the Dolomites to the Adriatic coast. With its braided riverbed, crystal-clear waters, and untouched banks, it shapes one of Europe's most remarkable natural landscapes. Wildcats and golden jackals roam the forests along its shores, while the river also flows through the Laguna di Marano, a rich brackish lagoon inhabited by swans and flamingos. Its journey ends at the Adriatic Sea, where the Tagliamento has been shaping the coastline for thousands of years.

How was a castle built in the Middle Ages? With which tools, which technology? Answers to these exciting questions can be found in Friesach in Austria's southernmost province of Carinthia.

The film is dedicated to the period between the first half of the 18th and the second half of the 19th century and goes in search of the traces that the Habsburgs left in Tuscany, but above all in Florence.

The rock paintings of the Australian aborigines are among the oldest evidence of human culture. But the unique cultural heritage of the Aborigines is in danger of being lost forever. The paintings, some of which are over 40,000 years old, are severely affected by weathering and algae infestation.

The documentary traces the development of the phenomenon of alpinism and questions the motives of the early pioneers, who set themselves a monument with their mountaineering achievements.
