00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:05,160
BLIND HUSBANDS

2
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,240
This film is dedicated to Sepp Innerkofler

3
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:44,679
the famous mountain guide who risked his life

4
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:50,359
to save other human lives and to ultimately

5
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,359
sacrifice his own on Mount Cristallo.

6
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,600
Let us remember his pure and generous heart

7
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,359
through an episode of his life.

8
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,359
One of the most common causes <font color="

9
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,280
is "lack of affection"

10
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,280
and the underlying reason is that "the other man"

11
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,280
appeared with his sincere intentions (or not, for that matter)

12
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,280
at the precise moment when the husband forgot the joys and enthusiasm

13
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,280
of the first days of marriage... Guilty!

14
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,280
We say when talking about <font color="

15
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,280
But what about the husband?

16
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:40,719
Under the azure sky...

17
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,719
as old as the world itself...

18
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,280
This is Mount Cristallo.

19
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:58,919
And like a diamond stuck near the magnificent Alpine ranges,

20
00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:04,919
is the small village of Cortina.

21
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:10,919
Note: Cortina d'Ampezzo, located on the Austrian-Italian border,

22
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:16,319
is the privileged place <font color="

23
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,559
On the seventh day...

24
00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:44,799
and a population...simple and warm...

25
00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:24,279
The wine tasting room at the Croce Bianca Hotel.

26
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,600
A son of the eternal mountains

27
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,600
Solid and silent like them...

28
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,920
Sepp the silent...

29
00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:59,639
Book a room,

30
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,240
if possible the one we had last time.

31
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,720
Let's arrive tomorrow. <font color="

32
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:53,200
"Until the end of my days... I will remain your friend..."

33
00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:23,319
In the vast solitude of the immortal mountains,

34
00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:29,319
where man is small and God is great, comes Dr. Armstrong,

35
00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:36,120
a renowned surgeon from America who seeks rest and relaxation.

36
00:06:40,399 --> 00:06:44,759
Margaret, his wife...

37
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,519
Lieutenant Von Steuben, <font color="

38
00:06:54,519 --> 00:06:57,519
who especially likes three things:

39
00:06:58,519 --> 00:07:03,560
wine, women and music.

40
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,760
Robert, what time is it

41
00:10:07,879 --> 00:10:11,279
“Oh, Robert...I forgot my sweater!”

42
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:31,960
"Yes, I saw him on the bed..."

43
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,960
“Did you find it?”

44
00:16:05,399 --> 00:16:10,799
This night was that of the festival of the Transfiguration...

45
00:16:19,159 --> 00:16:23,399
Three men from the village!

46
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,000
Young people on honeymoon

47
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:30,560
Lovers' Alley.

48
00:18:05,519 --> 00:18:10,559
“This wonderful night is ours...you and me!”

49
00:18:17,519 --> 00:18:24,160
“Even this good old moon seems to give us its blessing.”

50
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,480
“I love you.”

51
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,960
“you’ll never abandon me like that, will you?”

52
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:19,720
“What do you think of him? He doesn’t care about you!”

53
00:21:25,039 --> 00:21:30,480
“This wonderful night <font color="

54
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:43,039
“Even the good old moon seems to give us its blessing.”

55
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,720
" I love you. "

56
00:22:44,519 --> 00:22:49,519
“Okay Doc, tomorrow we will climb Mount Cristallo.

57
00:22:50,519 --> 00:22:56,039
And by the north slope, again!  what do you think? "

58
00:23:02,319 --> 00:23:09,119
“Why the north slope? No one has tried it until now.”

59
00:23:11,599 --> 00:23:15,279
“Exactly, that’s why!”

60
00:23:25,839 --> 00:23:28,919
“Don’t try to break records.

61
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,920
The mountains have no patience for such vain reasons...

62
00:23:33,519 --> 00:23:37,400
and they often ask you for compensation! "

63
00:23:41,519 --> 00:23:45,359
“What do you think, Sepp?”

64
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,520
“It’s bad for humans.

65
00:23:51,519 --> 00:23:55,039
to believe that he is more powerful than the mountains. That I know. "

66
00:24:04,519 --> 00:24:08,519
"For me, the mountains are <font color="

67
00:24:09,519 --> 00:24:13,559
My pleasure has always been to dominate them. "

68
00:24:28,839 --> 00:24:35,079
“We will be back tomorrow evening. Watch for our arrival!”

69
00:27:26,759 --> 00:27:29,920
Daybreak.

70
00:28:14,759 --> 00:28:19,879
...and as the morning progresses...

71
00:29:14,279 --> 00:29:18,079
“Robert, look! Isn’t it wonderful?”

72
00:29:41,799 --> 00:29:48,200
"250 crowns. But this <font color="

73
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:22,640
"I'm sorry, Margaret, but Dr. Brunner has an urgent case

00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:28,240
to treat... a young mother who needs us. I have to leave you. "

75
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:34,680
“Lieutenant, can you keep my wife company?

76
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,720
"You were created for love and nothing else...

Love with its <font color="

“You must not speak to me like that.

I am a married woman and I love my husband. "

80
00:32:16,359 --> 00:32:20,879
“Husband? Love? How can you love alone?”

81
00:33:35,599 --> 00:33:41,359
...In the pink glow of an Alpine sunset...

82
00:34:56,199 --> 00:35:02,719
“What I feared has happened…I’m going up to help them.”

83
00:35:05,679 --> 00:35:09,519
"Dr. Brunner is retained <font color="

84
00:35:10,519 --> 00:35:14,400
I'm the only doctor available... I have to go. "

85
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:23,600
"It's a long trip. We won't be there until tomorrow evening."

86
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:37,760
Ready to come to the aid of those who dared

87
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:44,480
challenge the spirit of the mountains...

88
00:36:38,159 --> 00:36:40,159
... The morning...

89
00:36:41,159 --> 00:36:48,839
and somewhere where an inseparable was calling...calling destiny...

90
00:40:26,599 --> 00:40:31,119
“Suppose my husband <font color="

91
00:40:36,079 --> 00:40:42,840
“He’s not thinking about you…he’s climbing the mountain.”

00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:17,000
“I promise... but give me time!”

93
00:42:56,239 --> 00:43:03,639
...I call the living... ...I mourn the dead...

94
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:23,880
"If you feel up to it, we'll leave for Rome tomorrow."

"No! Not until you have <font color="

“Let me accompany you to the shelter...

98
00:47:55,400 --> 00:48:01,840
and I will wait for you there until you come back."

99
00:48:13,119 --> 00:48:19,440
“Perhaps Lieutenant Von Steuben could join us?”

100
00:48:23,079 --> 00:48:28,079
“Maybe...I heard

00:48:29,079 --> 00:48:33,519
that he had climbed the majority <font color="

Cortina is far behind... and in the mist,

103
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:07,760
where voices distort into echoes... the expedition progresses...

104
00:49:46,519 --> 00:49:50,519
On September 16, 1879, Franz Huber was surprised by Alexis Bauer,

105
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:55,920
in the middle of a romantic date with the latter's wife.

106
00:49:56,320 --> 00:50:01,320
During the fight, the first one was thrown <font color="

107
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,559
by the cheated husband and he killed himself.

108
00:51:24,119 --> 00:51:30,119
...and just under the last trees,

109
00:51:31,119 --> 00:51:37,119
where the scents of the earth mix is ​​the refuge...

110
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:19,360
“Is it possible to have two separate bedrooms?

111
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:26,120
I'm leaving at dawn and I don't want to disturb my wife."

112
00:53:43,079 --> 00:53:48,079
... Night comes and with it <font color="

113
00:53:49,079 --> 00:53:53,519
and a mountain owl constantly calling, calling...

114
00:54:54,119 --> 00:54:57,599
“When all is quiet…don’t forget…”

115
01:00:07,039 --> 01:00:12,239
In the Alps there is no sin.

116
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:55,280
The Pinnacle, one of the three summits, brother of the Domites...

117
01:06:56,280 --> 01:07:01,280
not higher but more renowned <font color="

118
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:06,519
as evidenced by the number of intrepid expeditions which did not

119
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:09,000
managed to defeat him and left victims there.

120
01:07:14,719 --> 01:07:19,719
Close to paradise... move on...

121
01:07:20,719 --> 01:07:25,639
don't go any further...death lurks everywhere...

122
01:09:01,239 --> 01:09:06,119
A platoon of alpine hunters <font color="

123
01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:32,119
“Do you think they are in danger?”

124
01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:41,760
“No, if they have left their torments behind them.”

125
01:12:53,199 --> 01:12:59,199
The Pinnacle...at the feet of God...where man forgets his condition

126
01:13:00,199 --> 01:13:06,199
and cleanse his mind of all impurity.

127
01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:48,520
“Something terrible <font color="

128
01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:52,840
I know it... I feel it... I have to go and join them.”

129
01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:08,960
“Did my wife write you this letter?”

130
01:14:33,279 --> 01:14:37,639
“Was this letter written by my wife?”

131
01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:42,800
“Yes…so what?”

132
01:15:08,199 --> 01:15:13,199
"What can one man do? There is only one way

01:15:13,520 --> 01:15:17,840
to climb... <font color="

"I'll give you a chance... if you tell the truth,

I will know it too...and I will bring you down..."

"You won't do anything to me if <font color="

“No law of God or man shall compel me

to help you get down! "

142
01:20:56,960 --> 01:21:01,920
“I lied because I was afraid you wouldn’t believe the truth.”

143
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:36,600
“I didn’t do it…I swear!”

144
01:22:29,159 --> 01:22:33,159
Lieutenant.When we met I made you a promise

for the sole purpose of saving my <font color="

“I found it!”

“He’s still up there…save him…”

151
01:28:45,439 --> 01:28:51,039
The spirit of the mountain has spoken and everything is calm again...

152
01:28:52,039 --> 01:28:57,960
calm as death...
