At the dawn of her 18th birthday, the young Mila accompanied by her father Xavier and his uncle Victor (both three-time freeride world champions) is embarking on his first and not least expedition. Head to Antarctica ! After a long and stormy sailing trip, the crew reaches the sublime white continent, its ice mountains, its whales and its penguins.
