Film Description:

BARRACA is a visual artist and mountaineer who, in 1985, pioneered a unique discipline in the world: nivopainting, the art of painting on snow. After taking this form of expression to the Pyrenees, the Alps, the Andes, and the Himalayas for more than thirty-five years, he sets out on a new adventure.
