- At the shores of the glacial Lake Baikal, Sylvain Tesson, the Parisian adventurer, spent half a year in a weather-battered cabin, alone against the all-powerful elements of nature. Could that be the recipe for happiness?
- Sylvain Tesson is a writer and adventurer who has spent most of his life traveling the globe to live extreme adventures. In Alone, he spends six months alone on Lake Baikal, completely cut off from the outside world. From February to July, he films himself and his surroundings, and shares with us his feelings as he experiences silence, solitude and communion with nature. He introduces us to welcoming people and captures the beauty of an untamed and pure environment as the seasons come and go. Here is a beautiful and touching story set in the magnificent Siberian immensity.
- What would it be like to take a six-month break into the harsh and unrelenting wilderness of the vast Siberian Taiga, away from the hustle and bustle of a faceless urban life, to surrender into nature's bosom? In this extraordinary adventure at the shores of the glacial Lake Baikal, Sylvain Tesson, the Parisian writer, traveller and daring adventurer, not only did he succeed, but also portrays vividly how he spent half a year in a weather-battered cabin, alone and fragile against the boundless nature, the pitiless cold and the omnipresent danger. 180 days in exchange for the experience of a lifetime. Could that be the recipe for happiness?—Nick Riganas
