★ 10.0

Overview

At 60, Alain Robert has become a legend around the world, a genius clairvoyant madman from whom we do not know what to expect except that the Champagne flows, that nothing is quite planned and that life prevails. always on the rest. In the free solo niche, who can claim such longevity? Such consistency? Making crazy risk-taking a world of life is the legacy that this generation of rockers passes on to us. Alain is a rocker, rock heart too, just a rock, crazy about freedom. He is probably the oldest climber to dare to venture on a comeback without any safety equipment on the vertiginous cliffs of the Verdon, 20 years after having left them.

For nearly three years, director Dina Khreino interviewed world-class mountain climbing athletes, listening to what compels them to leave behind families, friends, and everyday comforts to risk everything for a fleeting glimpse into the unknown. What she found was a tribe, a diverse group of professional adventurers and amateur philosophers forged by the ultimate test of body, mind, and spirit. In the face of shifting winds, sheer granite cliffs, and impossible odds, they climb. Each for their own reason, but every one connected by the vertical world. In this rarefied air, these athletes are fundamentally changed, not just as climbers, but as human beings.
