Making of the cinematographic shooting of "Premier de Cordée" directed by Louis Daquin in the Mont-Blanc massif. In 1943, Alain Pol accompanied a team of seventy people (directors, technicians, interpreters, guides and porters) who reached the high mountains. Leaving from Chamonix, they take the Montenvers train, cross the Mer de Glace and reach the Requin refuge.
