Synopsis​

​

Amidst the deep mountain ranges shrouded in mist resides a peculiar and feather-footed tiny creature. Having existed on Earth for over a billion years, they have witnessed the flourishing of dinosaurs, the destruction they wrought, and the rise of human beings.

​

Despite its size, Taiwan is home to five unique species of Formosan salamanders, all of which are endemic to the island.

​

The film takes us on a journey into the forest alongside dedicated researchers who have spent over 17 years exploring and studying the wild terrain. In their quest to find the endemic salamanders of Taiwan, they persistently turn over stones in the forest, with some even sacrificing their lives on the mountains in the pursuit of this goal.

​

​

雲霧深鎖的臺灣山區，有一種舉步輕緩、相貌奇特的小動物，牠們出現在億萬年前的地球上，看過恐龍稱霸，甚至經歷了恐龍大滅絕、人類誕生。

臺灣面積不大，在經過長時間的演化後，島上竟然有5種特有種的山椒魚，牠們生活在中、高海拔的山區，而多高山的臺灣，成為了全世界山椒魚分布的最南界。

然而，來自冰河的山椒魚，在地球暖化、山林開放、棲地受到干擾的威脅下，族群正面臨存亡的迫切危機。

​

電影鏡頭走入臺灣山林，歷時17年用文字和影像記錄長年奔闖在山之巔、水之湄的臺灣山林真英雄～山椒魚研究人員。多年來，他們在高山溪源重複著深蹲、翻石的動作，為全世界只有臺灣才看得到的珍稀特有種，尋找生存密碼，甚至，將生命永遠的停留在高山上。
