At the summit of a remote Provençal mountain, a glass-walled hotel glistens in the sunlight. Directed by Jean Grémillon, this drama centers on the intertwined lives of people caught in the suffocating atmosphere created by this isolated landscape. The dangerous bonds formed between the hotel manager, an artist, and a dam worker blend with the unease brought by the mountain wind. Set high in the mountains, this story reveals—with a slow yet jarring rhythm—how desire can trap a person. The characters, lost in the labyrinth of passion, are slowly crushed under the weight of their own tensions.
