1954. Stan, a middle-aged palaeontologist living in Paris, hears a story about a 'dragon', a fossilized dinosaur whose discovery could change his life. Yet this fossil, if it truly exists, lies somewhere within a glacier, deep in treacherous mountain territory on the Italian border. And he cannot attempt to find it alone.
Joined by loyal friend Umberto with his young assistant, Peter, and expert mountain guide Gio, the team set off in pursuit of a legend. Time is short; they must complete the expedition before the weather turns. But what is really driving Stan? And just how far is he prepared to go?
Acclaimed screenwriter and author Jean-Baptiste Andrea tells a gripping and cinematic tale of dreams, obsessions, and the poignant friendship forged between a group of men pushed to their limits.
