• Teen-age daughter of an introspective father who challenged himself by climbing mountains
• Openings promised by "passages" ahead
• Western boots were "made for walking", a word to slow down

• 20th century father and daughters in a cultural time warp
• Fulfillment as shown in the footprint of the shoe, similar to a footprint in his wife's inner portrait
• Challenge: at the end of an era what will each daughter take from the family experience?
