À corde tendue (2013)

Fresh from seven long years behind bars, Sandra steps into the crisp, unforgiving world of Chamonix, her freedom tethered to the strings of probation. Nestled in this rugged landscape, she finds her estranged father, Paul, a legendary mountain climber who runs a reputable climbing school. Their reunion is a dance of unfamiliarity and tension, two strangers caught in a familial bond. As Sandra checks in at the local police station, she is assigned to Captain Labbé, who will oversee her probation case. However, she finds herself grappling with more than just the law. The ghost of her mother, who passed away during her imprisonment, haunts her. Every question about her mother's absence feels like a punch to her gut, a reminder of the life she lost while confined within cold prison walls. Paul, on the other hand, is a mystery to Sandra, a figure from a past she barely remembers. Their relationship is strained, the air between them thick with unspoken words and lingering questions. Despite this, Paul endeavors to induct Sandra into his world, the majestic yet treacherous world of mountains. Will Sandra find solace in the challenge of mountaineering, or will the ghosts of her past prove too overwhelming? The mountains beckon, promising a journey of self-discovery and redemption; a journey that is À corde tendue - on a tightrope.
