Director: Thomas Salvador
115 mins, France, 2022, Digital, Subtitled
Pierre (Thomas Salvador), a forty-something Parisian engineer, travels to the resort of Chamonix in the French Alps on business. During a meeting something mysterious outside the window catches his eye. While his colleagues return to Paris, Pierre feels mysteriously compelled to remain; he buys climbing gear and takes the cable car to the high mountains pitching his tent at the spectacular peak of Mont Blanc. Nothing matters more now than the mountains and the mysterious glowing lights he has discovered. Actor-screenwriter-director Thomas Salvador follows his debut feature Vincent returning to the mountains in another hypnotic, humorous and poetic tale of a remarkable hero.
