September 1935. Robin comes out of adolescence. He was born after the death of his father, like many children of his generation, born in the Great War. Political life is particularly violent in France, both domestically and internationally. But at eighteen, who does not give more importance to his intimate torment than to the collective news? In the person of one of his classmates preparatory class, Robin discovers that friendship is one of the names of love, in other words, anxiety. Conrad is the same seduction and enigma embodied. In April 1936, when the political tension is at its height, both will ski in an old and poor village of Upper Tarentaise named Val-d'Isère, some visionaries imagine that it could become a major station. Alpine skiing. The six days they spend there will mark Robin for life. Her entire existence will be dazzled by a young girl.--Gallimard.
