Wild Days

"Wild days" takes us on a journey at the pace of a logbook in a quest where friendships are created and tested by commitment, where time drifts, and spirits wanders off.

Hélias Millerioux, Alex Marchesseau, Christophe Tricou, and Aurélien Lardy all lives in Chamonix. This cradle of world alpinism and expert skiing is their daily playground. They have all taken part in long and challenging high-altitude expeditions. They camped out on sheer cliffs, lost themselves on vast Himalayan glaciers, they have dug igloos to shelter from storms. The waiting, doubts, giving up, and success are experiences and emotions they know well and from which they have learned valuable lessons. They are also full of determination, strength, spirit, and good humor.

Our Judges say:

A french climbing team attept Denali ("The Great One", or Mount McKinley as the US Government calls it) in Alaska. Some sections are terrifyingly dramatic. As a bonus it includes moody French climbers smoking Gauloises on high peaks, which is amusing and unusual in an adventure film! It's long but worthwhile, well-made and entertaining.

4 friends from Savoie have a crazy idea: 50 days of self-sufficiency in Alaska's Denali massif. "Wild days" takes us on a journey at the pace of a logbook in a quest where friendships are created and tested by commitment, where time drifts, and spirits wanders off.
