Dedicated to the eponymous Mont Blanc massif, the film is accompanied by the director Jacques Perconte’s burning question of whether we happen to be the very last people who will ever have the chance to see MontBlanc’s summit. It’s all in response to the earth’s rising temperatures, causing glaciers to melt at a rapid pace. Perconte's work is unique in the sense that in revealing the inner strength and pulsation of what is seen on screen, he combines plasticity that follows on the pictorial tradition inherited from painting and experimental film with documentary film rooted in a specific space.

"Are we the very last to see the peaks of Mont Blanc? The heat of the summers and the mild winters have a lot to do with the rock falls, which have multiplied over the last twenty years. The mountains are collapsing. If this is a sign of climate change, it is also a sign of our attachment to the landscape, which we would like to classify as a heritage site.

The Mont Blanc massif is not ours. The mountain is a state. It is a moment, it wasn't there millions of years ago, and it will change in any case. The problem here would be that of the speed of change. Because the equilibrium of these peaks defying the void, these glaciers' longevity is only our point of view. On the scale of the planet's motion, it's a vibration.

Mountains are falling, and there's nothing we can do about it. And even if we have the means to rise to their height to admire them, surpass those inaccessible peaks where many explorers lost their lives trying to gain the privilege of overcoming them, the mountains will continue to fall as they continue to rise. If Mount Blanc falls, it also rises."

"In his works, Perconte achieves a synthesis in which he finds a response to dialectical tension between the modern concept of techne and physis. These digits of the algorithm are part of the artistic environment, which is tense but also balanced at the same time." J. Sarmiento Hinojosa

Sommes-nous les derniers à pouvoir voir les sommets du mont Blanc ? La chaleur des étés, les hivers trop doux y sont pour beaucoup dans les écroulements rocheux, qui se multiplient depuis une vingtaine d’années. Les montagnes s’effondrent. Si c’est le signe d’un dérèglement climatique, c’est aussi celui de notre attachement au paysage que nous voudrions pouvoir classer comme un patrimoine.

Le massif du mont blanc n’est pas à nous, la montagne est un état, c’est un moment, elle n’était pas, et elle changera quoi qu’il en soit. Le problème ici serait celui de la vitesse. Parce que l’équilibre de ces pics qui défient le vide, la longévité de ces glaciers n’est que notre point de vue. À l’échelle du mouvement de la planète, c’est une vibration.

Les montagnes tombent, nous n’y pouvons rien. Et même si nous avons les moyens de nous élever à leur hauteur pour les admirer, pour dépasser ces sommets inaccessibles où de nombreux explorateurs ont perdu la vie en voulant accéder au privilège de les vaincre, les montagnes continueront à tomber comme elles continuent de s’élever. Si le mont Blanc s’effondre, il s’élève aussi.
