Chronoception

France, 2023

There are a thousand ways to tell a story. This one follows a different way of experiencing time, a way that guides our protagonists throughout the 22-day expedition in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan. Following in the footsteps of the country’s nomadic peoples and the ancient Silk Road, Thomas Delfino, Léa Klaue, and Aurélien Lardy embark on an adventure in one of the most remote and still unexplored places in Asia: the Kokshaal-Too Mountains.

This dream team, supported by legendary high-altitude guides Hélias Millerioux and Jean-Yves Fredriksen, find themselves thrown into a world where Time and Space seem to stand still.

There is wildlife, of course, but equally wild are the mountain landscapes and weather patterns. Time speeds up when the riders descend, carving their first turns on the other side of the world and tracing stunning lines on truly pristine peaks. This deeply personal adventure roots Kyrgyzstan and its culture in the heart of each of them.
