Documentary film made by Franco Cigarini for the IX edition of the Youth Winter Games, held in Cerreto Laghi (Reggio Emilia) from the 6th to the 9th of March, 1978. The images are accompanied by Flavia de Lucis's voice who performs the texts by Remo Musumeci. During a foggy day, the athletes face the cross-country skiing competition. The fog is so thick that, as the vocie over states, it's as if the little athletes were swallowed by the woods, enhancing their courage and determination.
