Beschreibung
As Chamonix's glaciers melt away, secrets emerge that have long been kept on ice. The mysterious monkeys of Mont Blanc? Hot on their trail, an aspiring athlete seeks closure to an almost forgotten trauma. Instead, he is found-by a dark secret that forces the villagers of Chamonix to examine their own tragic past. An elderly mushroom forager confronts her conscience. An eco-terrorist pornographer craves redemption. A child refugee awakens the mayor to the true identity of the Chamoniard people. Told across four seasons, this surreal tale brings to light what is enchanting and feared about this world-famous, alpine town.
