Private Project

UP & DOWN

"Everything is not as perfect as it looks"
During a Hike & Fly race, athletes have to hike up passes and mountains and then travel by flying with a glider and reach some GPS points.
Most of the time, they are able to fly over the mountains but sometimes they have to walk down.
In this short documentary, we follow François Montuori, a French paragliding athlete in the competition "Fly Chablais" to discover the insights of the race and his assistance team : moments of doubts and joy, emotions... The real adventure, with its ups and downs...
