La Madone

In Chamonix, where mountaineering history is written in both glory and loss, two young climbers—Lucien and Guillaume—attempt the impossible: scaling all seven Virgin statues scattered across the Mont-Blanc massif in a single, relentless push. But what starts as a physical challenge soon turns into something deeper. Old photos and traces of legendary guide Alphonse Couttet hint that these Madonnas guard secrets that stretch far beyond the peaks. Crossing three countries, the pair uncover an ancient wisdom passed down through generations of climbers—a journey that becomes as much about heritage, faith, and the trials of our own era as it is about the mountains.
