The 45-minute film tells the moving story of Léo Slemett, from his childhood to his rise in the world of skiing. He overcame adversity to pursue his dreams and push his limits. We discover the majestic snow-capped mountains of Chamonix and the incredible challenges Leo faced in his career. We also see how the loss of Estelle and Adèle shaped Léo's life, and how he learned to live with this pain and keep moving forward. This contradiction that high mountains represent for Léo is the central theme of the film.

A figure walks on a wire in mid-air. Highliners take us into their strange, visually extreme practice. From line to line, we move from incomprehension to the opposite: concrete feelings, palpable physical and mental research. As part of a team where nothing seems to stop them, we share their search for balance through imbalance.
