The face of the Ogre is a proud mountain, near Chamonix, which cannot be climbed by just anyone. So many mountaineers have tried to climb it, and so many mountaineers have never returned ... At the hotel, at the foot of the rocks, two women are waiting, two women who are separated by everything. One, Hélène was a commédienne and gave up everything to follow her husband mountaineer, Laurent, and the other, Marion, is a young teacher, and does not want to sacrifice his career for his companion who risks his life too often. But both of them are oppressed by the fear of not seeing the beloved man return.
