Triglav with the Aljaž Tower is an extraordinary landscape motif and an irreplaceable symbol of Slovenia. Due to its cultural, landscape, historical, and other exceptional values, it holds special significance for the Republic of Slovenia.
Who built it, how and why? How was it maintained? What is its history and meaning? What does it represent to Slovenians today? And what should we do to preserve it? These are the questions explored in the documentary, which follows a team of conservators and restorers as they prepare a plan for the reconstruction of the Aljaž Tower.
