As a passion project, we set out to capture the unique story of French highliner Julien Roux, a daring athlete ironically challenged by a fear of heights. Filmed in his hometown of Annecy, we followed Julien through his routines, offering a glimpse into his mind and exploring how he faces his fears. The result is an intimate portrayal of what drives him to continually push the limits and take on ever more daring feats.

Two years after our journey began, Julien achieved the unimaginable—setting a world record for the highest highline between two hot air balloons at an altitude of 5,000 meters. Defying both gravity and his deepest fears, he walked where no one had before, proving that courage isn’t the absence of fear, but the determination to overcome it.
