Pierre, a Parisian engineer, goes up in the Alps for his work. Irresistibly attracted by what surrounds him, he camps out alone high in the mountains and leaves behind his everyday life. Up there he meets Léa, a chef of an alpine restaurant, while mysterious glows glitter in the deep mountains...

Although Pierre’s intentions remain debatable, the story becomes a subtle treatise on solitude, ecology and, it would seem, following your bliss.

Sure, Pierre’s devotion to the natural is discernible, but Salvador’s frustrating portrayal of this dejected cosmopolite leaves little to explore.

Salvador's movie wants to penetrate something elemental in the viewer; if you can give in to its vision in good faith, it might just do that for you.

Pierre’s story might be worth an hour, but that isn’t ordinarily considered long enough for a movie. Perhaps that is why the science-fiction elements were added in.

A just really weird movie but I liked it - it will be something that I carry around thinking about. It’s long scenes, the way the main character is portrayed, and his story are just so unusual. But you should expect to have a documentary stile movie which lasts long and which leaves you with many questions open.
