Diavolezza

BBC2 Trade Test Film. Drama. Christian Badrutt was once a mountain guide in the Engedine; but progress - in this case the Diavolezza cable railway - robbed him of the job he loved by opening up the mountains to tourists. For only a few, the truly devoted mountaineers, now climb the Diavolezza from choice. So Badrutt becomes a conductor on the cable railway: a climber's compromise between the mountains he loves and the times he lives in.
