November 29th, 1972. The Andes freeze your bones. The airplane, split in two, shelters the living with suitcases blocking the entrance. The snow beats down hard. you, injured and struggling for air, lies dying on the floor. Roberto Canessa, a medical student, leans over him, his hands firm on the chest of the eighteen-year-old boy, fighting against time and the killing cold to bring life back.
