Altitude connects them. From the glaciers of the Andes to the peaks of the Himalayas, via the Alps and the plateaus of the High Atlas, the mountains have transformed their destinies. They are activists, shepherds, guides and scientists. They are pious, curious, passionate or solitary. They want to change their lives or the world. Or simply live by sharing their definition of happiness. All of them are ordinary people with no vocation to climb summits. They found themselves up there almost by chance. Because their convictions led them to the mountains, far removed from attempts at conquest or sporting feats.
Their true stories bear witness to singular ascents, but above all to a long journey towards their intimate quests, and ask a universal question: "What is our mountain?"
Directed by Louise Thaller and Stanislas Giroux
