An alpinist engineer, Henri Sigayret, establishes a close relationship with Nepal during his expeditions to the Himalayas and, in particular. With Pangboche the village on the way to Everest. With his money he has made several improvements in the village and is now thinking of building a small power station to provide the houses with electricity. Henri Sigayret has a good reason for dedicating his life to the village. The birth of a son links him forever to the village of the Sherpas.
