INTERNATIONAL PREMIERE
In a remote village in Yunnan, on the border with Tibet, an elderly man and his family live as guardians of the mountain. The documentary explores a way of life where the spiritual and the earthly coexist in a delicate balance. In the intimacy of their everyday gestures, a profound sensitivity towards nature emerges – nature understood not as a resource, but as an inseparable part of existence itself. It is a world that still endures, but whose future remains uncertain as generational differences begin to come to the fore.

NATIONAL PREMIERE
A portrait of Piolet d'Or mountaineer Hélias Millerioux, told in fragments. His alpinism goes beyond the high peaks — he finds just as much meaning in the quiet drift of base camp life. Camcorder rolling, Hélias narrates the world he passes through with warmth and honesty: resolute in spirit, open in direction.
