Well it is not a very interesting storyline, but the landscape and the good acting considering they are quite young actors make up for it. I am not sure if the story is based on a true event, but it is kind of possible, except SPOILER WARNING the guy falls down a waterfall and survives on a mountain top? SPOILER WARNING OVER There is quite a bit humour in the story, but I think what makes this film so good is the they way they have shot it. It plays back in 1960 when the French Algerian war came to an end, and they have found a way to make the Alpes look great and also to give the movie a retro touch, I was very much impressed with the filming. I saw it on a DVD, in the cinema it must just take your breath away. Ah, yeah and I don't understand why the average vote on IMDb is a mere 5,2. The film stands for itself, it's not the best film you will ever see, but it will give you something along your way.
