French coming-of-age dramedy, set in the Swiss mountains, about a poor boy who supports himself and his sister by pinching ski equipment from wealthy resort guests and selling it to the locals. Silver Bear winner at Berlin Film Festival 2012.
"A luxury ski resort in Switzerland. 12-year-old Simon lives in the industrial valley below, with his jobless sister, Louise (Léa Seydoux, Midnight in Paris). Every day, he takes the ski-lift to the opulent ski world above, stealing equipment from the rich tourists to resell to the local kids back down. As he partners with a crooked British seasonal worker, Simon loses his boundaries, which affects the relationship with his sister. Confronted with a truth they had both been escaping, Simon seeks refuge up above." (Berlin Film Festival 2012)
