Marc-André Leclerc, an exceptional climber, has made solo his religion and ice his homeland. When filmmaker Peter Mortimer begins his film, he places his camera at the base of a British Columbia cliff and waits patiently for the star climber to come down to answer his questions. Marc André, a little uncomfortable, prefers to return to the depths of the forest where he lives in a tent with his girlfriend Brette Harrington. In the heart of winter, Peter films vertiginous solos on fragile ice. He tries to make appointments with the climber who is never there and does not seem really concerned by this camera pointed at him "For me, it would not be a solo if there was someone else" . Marc-André is thus, the "pure light" of the mountaineers of his time, which marvel Barry Blanchard, Alex Honnold or Reinhold Messner, interviewed in the film. An event film for an extraordinary character.

What a great unique story about a climber whom was unknown but had an extraordinary story to share that unfortunately but beautifully came to an end at the end of the filming that makes for a sad but epic ending. The filming and angle of this story was a bit different than other climbing documentaries. The fact that these climbers mostly did climbs in the winter atmosphere makes it the most epic.

Very compelling movie, espcially if you like climbing, but freakin scared to do it. Only issue is the lack of subtitles for non-english dialogue. I heard it was a choice because we Americans should know spanish and it's offensive to those speaking spanish to have subtitiles. That is not reality. Instead, everything that gentlemen said was lost and had no meaning.Please add subtitles so these words have meaning. Some of this woke stuff is getting out of hand and so many people agree.

Rarely can I have seen a documentary with so much recent, and active, participation from a man about whom I knew nothing beforehand but for whom I actually cared by the middle of the film. The term "free-spirit" is entirely suitable to describe the young Marc-André Leclerc, a man who spends his tim More
