La Montagne / The Mountain

Pierre, a 40-year-old Parisian engineer, has travelled to Chamonix on business. Irresistibly drawn by the beauty of the snow-capped peaks of the Mont Blanc massif, he decides without further ado to leave his everyday life behind and set up a bivouac in the high mountains. One night, Pierre discovers a shifting luminescence in the darkness and sets out to get to the bottom of the mysterious phenomenon. Set against the stunning backdrop of the French Alps, director and leading actor Thomas Salvador tells the story of a dropout who discovers the mysticism of nature for himself. An adventure film as unusual as it is amusing.
