The Mountain movie storyline. Pierre, a Parisian robotics engineer, presents his company’s product to a potential client, his mind constantly interrupted, drawn to the surrounding alpine mountains and their glaciers. After his presentation, he decides to stay put rather than return to Paris.
As the days go by, he cannot bring himself to return, even if it means lying to his company about his state of health. He ended up settling on the glacier, in his own bivouac, and deciding not to go down again, even if it meant losing his job. If his mother feels he is happy there, other members of his family do not understand and think he has gone crazy.
Up there, he meets Léa, who runs a mountain restaurant. Having witnessed, in the distance, the collapse of a mountain section, he decides to cross the immense glacier to see it up close, and then discovers strange nocturnal lights, glowing and slowly moving, in the middle of the rock blocks. Without understanding what is happening to him, this meeting will gradually transform him, and it is a different Pierre that Léa will discover by going to look for him in the mountains to bring him back among men.
