Plot

Liz is a 15-year-old who has been accepted into one of the most famous ski schools in France, located in a secluded village in the Alps. In it, the young woman counteracts her obvious lack of experience with an overflowing rebellion. Her attitude draws attention to Fred, a former champion who decides to train her to get her to the top of the podium. Soon, she will start a hard career that will put her physical and emotional capacity to the limit.

Noée Abita, recently recognized with a Caesar nomination, stars in the film alongside Jéremie Renier. Catherine Marchal, Muriel Combeau, François Godart are the actors who accompany them in the cast. Charlène Favier writes and directs the film.

"Favier mostly ensures the storytelling stays out of the way of the story, which she locates primarily in two excellent main performances, given ample room by a meticulous, economical script, which relies far more on physical cues ? body language, gestures, gazes and expressions ? than on verbal communication. Renier gives a masterclass in finding enough sympathy with his loathsome character to play him utterly convincingly, while never trying to elicit similar sympathy from the audience. He might help us understand how an ego like Fred's can self-justify and self-exculpate, but it doesn't mean we don?t want to throw him off a bridge", says Variety.
