Ceux d'en haut (2026)

Ceux d'en haut is a French documentary about the guardians of mountain refuges and the unusual lives they lead high in the Alps and Pyrenees. The film follows several refuge keepers through a summer season, observing their work, solitude, hospitality, and relationship with the changing mountain environment.

Rather than simply presenting spectacular mountain landscapes, the documentary asks what these people can reveal about the way society inhabits remote places. Their daily routines place questions of climate, tourism, community, and accessibility against the dramatic backdrop of high-altitude terrain.
