Original title : Dans le vieux châlet
The real protagonist of this film is a pair of skis which, before being burnt in the fireplace of a chalet, recalls his life from the forest of his childhood to the moment of his death in the mountains following the fall of a beautiful woman. The film was made in three major winter sports resorts : Mégève, Val d’Isére and Saint-Moritz.
