Summary

A scientist and his team on a mission to halt the melting of glaciers in the Alps.

Determined that the melting and eventual disappearance of glaciers in the Alps can be averted, Dr. Felix Keller, a Swiss glaciologist, and his team set out to create a complex snow cabling system, recycling glacial meltwater into snow.

Their solution could be scaled enough to save the entire Morteratsch glacier. Enthusiasm, resilience, and love for the Alps are reflected in these locals’ efforts to save the winter for future generations.

The choice of the festival

Peut-on sauver les glaciers des Alpes ? La fonte actuelle n’est-elle pas inéluctable ? Le glaciologue Félix Keller a mis au point un procédé permettant de réinjecter l’eau de fonte dans le glacier sous forme de neige artificielle. Il veut ainsi prolonger la vie du glacier Morteratsch le plus long glacier du massif de Bernina, en Suisse orientale. Un film aux images magnifiques et qui pose quelques questions essentielles sur le rôle de l’homme dans la sauvegarde de l’environnement.
