“Living in Chamonix means watching Mont Blanc all the time. It’s such an iconic peak”. For several years now, athlete Hillary Gerardi has been shining on the podiums of the world’s greatest trail races, but her sights are set on high altitude. The victim of a terrible accident a few years ago, she questioned her legitimacy as a mountaineer to take on the most prestigious mountain race record. From the church in Chamonix, the capital of mountaineering, to the summit of Mont Blanc and back. In secret, Hillary has dedicated the last three years to this meticulous preparation, but this was without counting on the vagaries of the weather, which were far less controllable than her own determination…On the eve of UNESCO’s International Year of Glacier Preservation 2025, this inspiring film harmoniously combines the sporting achievement of Hillary’s record-breaking feat with a speech by glaciologist Heidi Selvestre to raise awareness of the importance of glaciers.
