Pierre is a robotics engineer, on the verge of completing an important project. To the amazement of his family and friends, he drops everything to succumb to the irresistible call of the mountains, from bivouacs to extreme and bewitching excursions.

In Vincent, Thomas Salvador was already filming himself as a mute hero, aspiring only to enter into complete symbiosis with the sublime setting of the Verdon Gorges. A few years later, his slender figure has turned salt and pepper, his words are still limited to the strict minimum. Above all, he feels more than ever the imperious need to melt into the landscape, this time bathed in miraculous visions of the Mont Blanc massif. The Mountain probes our capacity to relativize, to throw everything away to enjoy life while there is still time. Take only what you need, let yourself be carried by the experience and hold your breath.
