- Description
- In 1977, Philippe Ribiere is born in Martinique with the Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome. Abandoned by his parents, he is left to the hospital, where he is bound to spend the first four years of his life and undergo a series of arm and leg operations. He is alone and different. At the age of 4, he is taken to France to be adopted by a French family. In 1994, Philippe discovers climbing, which is much more of a challenge to him than it is to others. However, he also discovers how to turn his handicap into an advantage through climbing and so make his way into the society. The story of Philippe Ribiere is a story of loneliness, searching for the answers, discovering of being different. It is a story of courage, will, fearlessness, freedom, seeking for love and overcoming the impossible.

Lobende Erwähnung 2012
Minutes of the jury
This is an unusual film about a fascinating climbing character whose personality determines the style of the film. It is rare that the narrative conveys the perspective of the central protagonist with such sensitivity.
