Storyline
In Chamonix, in the 1930s, two populations rubbed shoulders while ignoring each other. That, first of all, of athletes in search of thrills, who have come to try their hand at mountaineering. That, then, of the socialites, who come there to appear and exchange the latest gossip. These two worlds come together, however, to set out to conquer the Mont-Blanc massif. Roped up, dependent on each other, experienced mountaineers and amateurs only have to join forces and forget their differences.

“You either ignore the comic book and make a great movie or you stay very close to the comic book.”
