High Life at Low Temperatures

The documentary features the breathtaking summits and mountain ridges of Lungau, known as Austria's "Little Siberia." This high-level plateau, sitting at 1,000 meters, creates a distinct climate that allows for diverse natural phenomena. Creeks and streams originating from the peaks form bogs, moors, and alpine lakes, supporting a variety of wildlife.

Viewers witness the short yet vibrant summer season, where eagles nurture their young and black alpine salamanders give birth to live miniature versions of themselves. The film offers a deep dive into the fascinating interplay between the cold climate and the life it sustains, highlighting the unique characteristics of this remote region in Austria.
