Amelie (12) is sent to an asthma clinic in the Alps. She lives in a world of her own and can’t understand why she is treated like she’s ill. The Alpine air is wonderful but life is very dull. Then she meets Bart (13), a total outdoors boy who ’manages’ a herd of cattle. She finds that really amusing and immediately makes fun of him; he finds her really stupid! But when Amelie learns the clinic considers her unruly and wants her to follow the official line, she runs off. It’s easier said than done, but Amelie is stubborn and isn’t going back. She wants to make it on her own and show everybody... by climbing the highest mountain in the area. It is Bart who comes to her aid. He’s not as stupid as she thought and now the adventure can finally begin...
