- Head north of Baffin Land, 700 km north of the Arctic Circle, on Bylot Island, a deserted island still sleeping under the ice in May. They are three mountain guides. The trip will last 1 month. They will go up the main glacier in the center of the island to cross Bylot and reach the famous « Passage du Nord-Ouest » ice floe on the other side of the island: 400 km in complete autonomy in polar bear country. A human experience where we share the routine of the life of an explorer, as well as the incredible experience of being confronted with the wild beauty of this Arctic land.
- On the 200,000 scale map, in the immensity of Greenland, the course is only a thin line that one follows feverishly from the finger. They leave Tasiilaq for a 12-day preparatory expedition to familiarize themselves with the polar regions. The trio is reunited again: Jean Troillet, Blutch, Sébastien Devrient. Experience, strength, eyes. They planned to climb on the ice cap to cross the gigantic Helheim Glacier, the world of the dead in Nordic mythology. Their line crosses the 70 km of white stretch on the map, which turns out to be, in fact, 70 km of entanglements of crevasses. Then the line sinks into a mountain massif, little traveled: the Schweizerland and its strangely named glaciers : Pourquoi Pas Glacier, Franche Comté Glacier, Paris, Champs-Elysées - Then on the map, the line stops at the edge of a fjord. Jean Troillet raises his head: "And there, a fisherman comes to pick us up...". After 400 km of adventure, why not?
- 2012. Jean Troillet suffers a stroke over 6,000 meters above sea level on the slopes of Annapurna in the Himalayas. His rope companion will take three days to bring him down to base camp. A few days after the accident, still uncertain of the diagnosis which weighs on him, Jean unveils himself to the camera of Sebastien Devrient. A year after the fact, the two mountaineers return on their incredible experience.
