Félix, a young, melancholic and secretive shepherd, leads a surprisingly timeless life. He lives alone and works along his father to raise the family herd. From autumn to spring, he looks after his animals, feeds them and keeps them in the bare mountains of the French Alps. In the summer, he leaves his father to lead the herd to the mountain pastures, for more than two hundred kilometres on foot. There, he lives far from everything for many long months, in a mineral and inaccessible world where an invisible being prowls: the wolf.

Chamonix, the cradle of alpinism, has witnessed both legendary triumphs and daring challenges. It is here that Lucien Boucansaud and Guillaume Pierrel set out on an unprecedented adventure: linking, in a single race, the seven sacred Madonnas of the Mont Blanc massif.

Perched atop the region’s most imposing peaks, these statues are remnants of a time when people sought guidance and meaning in the mountains. Their journey takes them across three countries – France, Italy, and Switzerland – in search of a forgotten heritage.

Following in the footsteps of past alpinists and guided by the insights of figures like Catherine Destivelle and Étienne Klein, they uncover a deeper truth: these statues hold more than history—they embody the spirit of a universal legacy, blending achievements, beliefs, and alpine traditions.

This is the story of two young women who set off on a whim to reach the Himalayas by bicycle.
With no training whatsoever, they embark on an unusual and eventful journey that will lead them, against all odds, to meet the 14th Dalai Lama.
From fear to love of people, from laughter to tears of laughter, armed with Tibetan prayer flags, they will be forced to question the limits of peace and freedom, as they encounter new people and new political contexts.
But with one guideline: as long as we’re having fun!

Carla embarks on an initiatory journey on horseback in the Kyrgyz steppes. An extraordinary adventure, especially since the young rider is visually impaired.

Accompanied by her father Pierre, a cameraman and director, she begins a demanding journey between steppes and passes at an altitude of over 4,000 meters. Willing and curious, she discovers the country and meets the nomadic people. Pierre films Carla’s journey and serves as his daughter’s eyes; he describes the scenes she cannot see, warns her of the dangers, and encourages her. Carla gives her father riding advice and tries to communicate to him her unique relationship with animals, energies, and the elements.

The unique and fusional bond that has been woven between them for 19 years is gradually revealed. Carla discovers the world of her father, who is passionate about images and travel. Pierre seeks to capture his daughter’s universe. He knows that after this journey together, he will have to let her fly away towards her adult life.

In 1968, a man named Richard “Dick” Proenneke left civilization behind, determined to fulfill his dream of returning to the wild. At the age of 51, he ventured deep into Alaska, where he built a cabin on the shores of one of the most remote lakes on the planet. He lived there for thirty years, surviving on fishing and foraging, with only grizzlies, caribou, wolves, and salmon as his neighbors.

It is this cabin at the edge of the world that Eliott Schonfeld set out to find, twenty years after Dick Proenneke’s passing. Inspired by the old man’s journals, the young adventurer retraces his footsteps across the lands of the Denai’na people. Day by day, he discovers a whole new world—one of extraordinary, free, and abundant nature.

Through this timeless journey, marked by dizzying ascents, raging rivers, and close encounters with grizzlies, he reminds us of the urgent need to protect this unique natural heritage, now threatened by human recklessness.
