La Bleue
Three friends brought together by their love of the mountains are torn apart by it.
Karen, Zénon and Gleb are long-standing friends, experienced climbers and base-jumping enthusiasts, the extreme sport of parachuting off cliffs. They set off on an expedition to the wonderfully preserved landscapes of Alaska. Gleb has an accident that transforms the adventure into a survival operation, reinforcing the already strong links between them. Karen starts a new relationship with Zénon, her boyfriend in her teens.
Back in the Haute-Durance region in the Alps, they return to lives disrupted by plans for very high-tension wires across the valley, threatening to disfigure it permanently. Karen, as committed to the mountains as she is to every aspect of her life, soon joins protest movements, and clashes with Zénon who in his capacity as a helicopter pilot is working on installing the pylons. Confronted with the ugly building works and evermore stringent clampdowns, Karen is radicalised and scales ever greater heights of violence, hotly pursued by Gleb who is heading up the enquiry for an elite police unit.
