A bittersweet reunion drama that uses a shared physical journey to excavate the joys and sorrows of aging friendships and unresolved pasts.

A group of friends reunite after 30 years to climb the Mont Ventoux again. Memories to a happy youth but also new discoveries from the past. One person is not present at the reunion. Why is that? What happened?
