The film explores the strong personality of Pierre Mazeaud, a man who succeeded in reconciling three apparently incompatible passions - the mountains, law and politics - at the highest level, without every denying the values transmitted to him by his parents and his ties to his homeland, Grenoble. It is the portrait of a singular climber, based on his personal memories and the testimony of those who knew him, accompanied by impressive images of the mountains.
