You getting this, Albert?
Oh. Good choice!
Is it recording?
This is for your sister.
That's it.

Rip and tear.
There you go.
Take the next one for you, dear.
No, that was my bad.
Oh, you go girl.
You've got this.
A globe.
Oh, look at that.
Oh, honey.
Slow down, honey, slow down.
Let me get a close up of that.
A camera.
Thank you.
A camera.
A picture is worth 1,000 words.
Imagine all the stories you can tell now.
Merry Christmas, Faith.
I can't believe it records videos too.
It's the coolest camera ever.
Smile.
Merry Christmas, dear.
Merry Christmas.
I'm the luckiest man in the world.
Merry Christmas.
Ready?
Ready.
OK.
Oh, wait.
We forgot Grandpa.
Would you be a dear?
Of course.
Oh,
Everyone say Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Whoa, Kels.
Faith, what are you doing?
What am I doing?
What was your plan?
Attack an intruder with the spirit of Christmas?
Why are you breaking into my apartment?
Well, technically, it's my apartment, too,
and I can't break into my own home.
Well, technically, you'd have
to spend more than five minutes here to call it your apartment.
I didn't want to wake you up in the middle of the night
and scare you.
I couldn't find my key.
Here.
Solid plan.
By the way, that onesie is a walking jump scare.
It's festive.
Oh, no.
Are you having a Bridget Jones moment?
Finally realized Jim's not the one,
that he'd rather spend Christmas alone
in a cabin reading Archaeological Digest,
despite his incessant breadcrumbing?
What?
No.
Jim and I have an agreement.
We like our independence and time apart,
because it works for how busy we are.
OK, we broke up.
Happy?
You did?
I'm sorry, Kels.
It's fine.
I don't want to talk about it.
OK, fine.
Fine.
Are you going to get that?
Get what?
Wait, I thought that you were spending the night upstate
at Ben's parents' place.
Oh, yeah.
I came back for the emergency meeting.
Emergency meeting?
The one with grandma's lawyer.
That's not an emergency.
Henry just asked if we could come into his office.
He said it was time sensitive and about the will.
Do you think we have a long lost sibling?
Maybe someone who lived down south.
By the way, we just got that camper van totally decked out.
Solar panels, infrared sauna, flush able toilet.
I'm glad you have your priorities straight.
There is no bigger priority
than a flush able toilet.
What's this?
Oh, I was making a video for Gram at Christmas.
Thought it would be nice to send to everyone who came
to the celebration of life.
Oh, I love that picture of us.
And I love you.
I love you.
She would have loved this.
It's not going to be the same here without her.
I take it you'll be spending Christmas in Florida?
Yeah.
We're going to try to take the week off after Christmas
and relax before we get swamped with new clients.
You know how everyone makes a New Year's resolution
to start yoga.
Well, not everyone.
Well, I was thinking, since it's been a while,
maybe we could spend Christmas together.
Really?
You should come to Miami.
Oh, that would be so fun.
No, I meant here, like we used to.
We've done that a million times.
You should change it up, get out of the city for once.
I kind of have to stay.
Magazine needs me to shoot an event on the 24th.
They want you to work on Christmas Eve?
That's so lame.
Tell them to get someone else to do it.
Great career advice.
Thank you.
Hey, no, you know what?
I'm serious.
I mean, you've just been saying that you want to quit anyway.
You want to go out, you want to go on your own adventures
instead of just photographing other people's.
Yes, and eventually, if I keep proving myself,
they're going to let me pitch my own story soon.
Good luck with that.
Well, it is nice that you can set off anytime
you want and do Downward Dog on a mountain or whatever,
but I, like most people, have a regular job.
Don't get mad at me because I
have a job that doesn't keep me chained to a desk.
I'm going to get to sleep.
I'll see you in the morning.
We probably just missed a signature or something.
Yeah, you're probably right.
Hi, Kelly, I'm your cousin.
I got a... oh.
Faith!
Shoot.
Leave this on my desk, please.
Take it.
No, I don't want it.
Here, give it to me.
I'm sorry I'm late, ladies.
Kelly, Faith.
I know I made it seem like today was going
to be fairly boilerplate, but I must
admit this is a tad unusual.
I knew it.
It's a long lost sibling, isn't it?
Are they contesting the will?
Nothing that dramatic.
This is more of a last wish from Rebecca.
This is Rebecca's travel journal from when she was in her 20s.
It details a trip that she and Albert
took while they were in Europe.
What does this have to do with the will?
Did Rebecca tell you about the trip
where she and Albert got engaged?
Oh, yeah, hundreds of times.
She said it was when her life really began.
Proposing in the French Alps on Christmas Eve.
So romantic.
Rebecca has requested that you make the same trip.
She wants you to travel to the exact same place
as their engagement on Christmas Eve.
Are you serious?
Rebecca didn't specify why,
only that this was very important to her.
So one can only assume that will become clearer
as you make the journey.
But wait, didn't Albert propose
at the top of a mountain?
Mont Blanc, to be precise.
Mont Blanc.
As Rebecca's health began to decline,
she worked with me to arrange making all of the reservations
according to her itinerary contained in that journal.
Now, some of it needed to be updated, of course,
after all these years.
But yeah, in a nutshell, that's it.
Well, this is crazy.
It's Christmas Eve next week.
She wants us to fly to France and climb a mountain?
To help, we've arranged for a local guide
to assist you in the trip.
His information is in there as well.
Well, you don't have to convince me to go to Europe.
She can count on us.
Glad to hear it, because your flight leaves
first thing in the morning.
You just need to confirm the accommodations.
Ladies, I have a meeting to attend.
Bonne chance.
Well, Henry wasn't kidding.
Two tickets.
We leave tomorrow morning.
Oh, by the way, I looked up our tour guide.
He's super hot.
No thank you.
Oh, come on.
You know the old adage.
The quickest way to get over an ex...
Don't finish that sentence.
Is to climb to the highest peak in the French Alps.
OK, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
I mean, you're acting like we're actually going.
What are you talking about?
Of course we're going.
It's grandma's final wish.
Faith, I mean, I don't even know if I can go.
This is important.
She wants this for us.
We owe it to her.
I can't go.
I'm sorry.
It's final.
I have work obligations.
I can't just set off across the world in a moment's notice.
Isn't this what you want to do for your job?
You can't write about going on adventures if you never
go on them yourself.
Be more like Grandma.
I think I know Grandma pretty well.
I'm not the one that left at 18 to go save the whales in Nepal.
Excuse me, it was Patagonia to save the whales.
Nepal doesn't have whales.
It has dolphins, and they're doing just fine.
All right.
Guess it'll just be me and Frederic.
Good.
Great.
Who's Frederic?
This guy right here.
Handsome, no?
Suppose it'll just be the two of us
at the top of a snowy mountain.
Hey, can you get me a gingerbread latte?
Absolutely not.
Coconut milk, please.
OK.
Hello.
Oh, hi there.
May I please speak with Frederic?
Yes.
Who's speaking?
Hi.
My name is Faith Green.
Ah, yes, yes, yes.
I was expecting your call.
Henry said we're supposed to meet tomorrow,
yes, to leave Paris for Chamonix.
Yes, perfect.
Also, sad news.
It was supposed to be myself and my sister, but she's bailing.
This is no problem.
I'll see you tomorrow at the Cafe de Reve, OK?
OK.
See you tomorrow!
Have a good trip!
Wait, what?
What's that you say about French pastries?
Oh, hey, didn't see you there.
Just talked to Frederic.
Sounds very beautiful!
Yeah, that's Italian.
You're really not coming?
You don't want to go on an exciting, globetrotting
adventure to fulfill our beloved grandma's final wish?
I can't.
I'm sorry.
I really don't understand you.
You were just saying we haven't spent Christmas
together in so long.
This is the perfect opportunity.
Maybe next time.
I gotta go.
Bye.
Thank you for the latte.
Mm-hmm.
Albert has invited me on a trip to Europe.
I know some would call me a fool to follow him
to Europe after only dating for six months.
But it's like Helen Keller said.
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
Morning.
Coffee's on the counter.
Oh, thanks.
Here you go.
Really wish you were coming with me.
Yeah.
And I'm sad I won't be here for Christmas.
Be fun to do that again sometime.
Yes, that would be nice.
Well, anyway, my ride's here, so.
Yeah, I should probably get to work.
Yeah.
Bye.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas, Faith.
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
JFK, right?
Yes, please.
Terminal one.
Faith, wait!
Faith!
Excuse me.
Wait!
You know her?
Yeah, that's my sister.
Should I stop?
Hey, watch it.
You know what?
Let's give her a minute.
This is fun.
Wait!
OK.
I'm coming with you.
You heard her.
We're going to France.
Not letting you come to France and not have a croissant.
It's a religious experience.
Well, at least I can get some caffeine.
It's a five and a half hour train ride to Chamonix
and I don't want to miss it.
Yeah, me too.
This kid behind me would not stop
kicking my seat on the flight.
OK.
You know what?
Why don't you get us a seat, and I'll get us the goods.
Thank you.
Sorry, can I just put those in there?
Thanks.
All right.
OK.
Oh.
Oh, wow, it's so pretty.
It's beautiful, isn't it.
Um, what?
I'm saying it's beautiful here.
You don't speak French?
No.
No, not since high school.
Do I know you?
Perhaps we've met before, but I doubt it.
I think I would remember.
May I sit?
You look lonely.
Excuse you?
I'm Frederic.
It's nice to meet you.
Are you hitting on me?
Maybe.
Why?
Is it unwelcome?
The better word would be unprofessional.
You're supposed to be our tour guide for the next few days.
Oh, pardon.
I had no idea.
Yeah.
OK, to be fair, you look
nothing like your Instagram.
I'm the other one.
Oh.
Kelly.
OK, got it all.
Oh, are you making friends already?
Yeah, Faith, this is Frederic.
Oh, Frederic.
Yes, I'm Faith.
Delighted! ...Delighted!
Wow, he's even hotter in person.
Oh, he's even more obnoxious in person.
Really?
You know what, as much as I would love to stay and chat,
we have a train to catch.
And I don't trust French time or trains or time in general.
Well, maybe French time is good for you.
To relax and enjoy.
I mean, you're on vacation, right?
Yes.
Oh, no, no.
I prefer to stay at a steady level of anxiety when I travel.
It's my happy place.
Oh, wow.
OK, so Frederic, Fred, Freddie, can I call you Freddie?
Yeah, sure.
Freddie.
So how do you know our grandma?
Well, it's a complicated story,
but don't worry, everything will be revealed.
Mm, I love mystery.
You know what?
I don't love mystery.
Would you actually excuse us for just a second?
Come with me.
One second.
Do you have a crush on him?
No.
Just the opposite, actually.
He's almost too charming.
All right?
And rude.
I got some weird vibes.
Wait, really?
Yeah.
He barely said hello before he started flirting with me.
Wait, but he's French.
Isn't that what they do?
I hate to break up the moment,
but we should probably head to the train station.
You know what?
I think we can take it from here.
Thank you, Frederic, for your French services.
Wait.
What she's trying to say is we would
love to be able to sit on the train with you
and just really get to know you better.
Is that possible?
Well, yes.
Of course.
Oh, good.
Oh, and I do have something for you.
Henry instructed me to hand it over the moment we met.
It's a note from your grandmother.
But please save it for the train,
because it leaves in 10 minutes.
OK, and this is why we don't
relax and be on French time.
Come on.
Perhaps your secret meeting had us running late.
He's probably right.
Faith, zip it.
The journey you're about to take
changed my life forever.
Albert and I took the best route we could afford.
Finally, we arrived at the base of Mont Blanc itself
in the charming village of Chamonix.
Wow.
This is the cutest train station I've ever seen.
Where did Frederic go?
Oh, he said he had to stop into the station.
Why?
You miss him?
I mean, do we even need a guide?
We're smart.
You're absolutely right.
Hey, what does that sign say?
And also, when we're scaling the enormous snowy mountain,
what kind of gear do you think we're going to need?
See where I'm going with this?
OK, well, you know what?
Fine.
As soon as I get another weird vibe, he is out.
100%.
If he gets creepy, we ditch him.
Right.
All right.
What's on the agenda for today, anyway?
Oh, Grandma booked us a chalet in town.
Just need the address.
I cannot wait to wash 12 hours of travel off of me.
Wait, didn't you ask to read the journal on the train?
Yeah, I did for a half hour,
and then I gave it back to you.
Only you didn't give it back to me.
Wait, what?
I could have sworn I gave it back to you.
What do you mean?
Faith, tell me you didn't leave grandma's journal
on the train.
I am so sorry.
Stop.
Stop, stop, the train!
It's gotta be in here.
It's gotta be.
It's in here.
It's in this pocket.
You forgot something?
Oh, wow.
That was close.
So I guess you will be needing
my French services after all.
Uh-huh, yeah.
What was that?
I couldn't hear.
Merci.
We will be needing you, your French services.
There we go.
Let's go.
She's like, ah!
Stop, OK, enough.
Stop the train!
All right, it's official.
I'm moving here.
Oh, this is adorable.
So Chamonix was one of the first places
to embrace mountaineering.
And it's also the home of Mont Blanc.
The summit was first reached in 1786,
and ever since, it's been attracting adventure seekers.
Hi!
Good morning.
Friends of yours?
No.
I give them a tour last week.
Charming and popular.
How do you manage?
Well, it is natural for me.
Wow, so French.
What's that?
Ah, this is Le Coeur du Sommet Blanc Hotel.
It's been a crown jewel of Chamonix since 1855.
Wow.
Shame we're not staying there.
It really is incredible.
But I'm sure the accommodations your grandma made
are really nice, too.
Yes.
Do you have the address?
Do you know where this is?
Yeah.
Yeah, I can take you down now.
Oh, great.
Yeah.
OK.
Let's go.
It's right over there.
This way?
All right.
Oh, yeah.
This place has Grandpa written all over it.
OK, this is cozy.
Oh, that fire smells good.
Oh, Faith, look at this.
I'll admit this was no grand hotel.
However, where you spend your time
is infinitely less important than who
you spend your time with.
So get cozy.
Another note from your grandmother?
Yes.
I've got a theory, though, that she's just
trying to keep us on track.
Well, while you were reading,
I took a peek in the chalet, and I think you
two will be comfortable here.
Wait, you're not going to stay here?
Oh, no, I couldn't impose.
My family lives in Saint Gervais,
so I'll just stay there.
Great.
Saint Gervais, that's a 45 minute ride.
You're not going to go back and forth every day.
No, you're staying here.
It's not a big deal.
I think it's a big enough deal to warrant a discussion.
Kelly, what are you doing?
What are you doing?
Seriously?
Why don't you two talk?
I'm going to go take a look out back.
Yeah.
Check out the stuff.
OK, rude.
You just invited a strange man
to stay with us in a snowy cabin.
This is how true crime podcasts start.
You're so dramatic.
Listen, first of all, he's not a stranger, OK?
Henry knows him.
And second of all, what, we were about to climb a mountain alone
with him, and that's fine, but staying under the same roof,
that's too far?
Kelly, come on.
This is it.
This is the journey, man.
Embrace it.
And besides, if he turns out to be a psycho,
well, I'll tell him to murder me first.
No.
Please?
OK.
There you are.
Hey, Freddie.
Come on.
OK, we have discussed it, and we would both like
for you to stay here.
Right Kels?
Yes, we would.
We sure would.
So much.
Unanimously.
OK, then.
The next question, I suppose, is what next?
Does Rebecca have any plans for us?
Yeah, Faith, what does the journal say?
OK, so next on the agenda, shopping in Chamonix.
Ooh.
They both bought a bunch of stuff
from the small shops in town.
Cute.
Oh yes.
The locals have wonderful shops here.
Is there anything specific that we must get?
Oh, yeah, tons.
Cheese, meat, pastries, bread, chocolate.
Woo.
Your grandma was very thorough.
We have quite a bit of shopping to do.
But I know just the place.
All right.
We still need cheese and bread.
Oh, and a blanket.
You know what?
I think I see a place over there where I can find a blanket.
I'm going to go check it out.
Well, we'll come with you.
No, no, no.
You two do the rest.
I'll see you later.
Bye.
OK, I guess we'll get the rest ourselves.
Well. I see the cheese shop over there.
Any preferences?
Oh, I would never tell a Frenchman what cheese to buy.
I know we had an awkward start.
I want to apologize if I soured your trip.
No, no.
I probably overreacted.
I was just caught off guard, I think.
It's instinct. You know.
I see a beautiful woman sitting alone, I flirt.
OK, Pepé Le Pew, does that work for you?
Is that your move?
Madame, you will know when you see my move.
You really are obnoxious, you know that?
Yes, yes.
Here we are.
After you.
You know, Paris is wonderful.
You should stay longer next time.
It's the best city in the world.
Yeah, I have spent more than an afternoon here before.
And don't get me wrong, it's nice,
but it doesn't hold a candle to New York.
That is the most ridiculous thing
I've ever heard.
Well, have you been?
No.
OK, well, your opinion doesn't count then, does it?
You should be the tourist for once.
Let someone else show you around.
Are you offering?
Sure.
You don't get us killed on the mountain,
I'll show you around the city.
OK, I could do that.
I found a blanket.
Did you all get everything we need?
Almost.
We just need some more cheese.
Good.
Excuse me.
May I please have two Reblochon please?
Was I gone long enough?
Stop.
You stop.
So where to next?
According to the journal, they
stopped for Venshaw in the middle of town
and listen to Christmas music.
Well, that's sweet.
Oh, perfect.
I know just the place.
I love the energy here.
I don't know why I was expecting some sleepy little ski town.
Oh, no.
After skiing, there's nothing the French like more than food,
wine, and song.
Cheers to that.
Cheers! ...Cheers!
I used to get in trouble here when I was younger.
Did you come here a lot as a kid?
Yes.
I was born in Saint Gervais, but I would sneak away to Chamonix
whenever I could.
Then after university, I moved to Paris,
and I would come back here every winter.
My heart belongs to the Alps.
So do you still know people around here?
Not really.
Most of my friends moved on, but a few still remain.
Amelie.
She grew up next door.
We used to... we used to play music together.
You were in a band?
Do you still play?
Occasionally, but just for myself.
You should get up there and serenade us.
Oh, yes.
You should get up there right now.
Definitely not.
The band had a messy breakup.
Let me guess, you and Amelie?
Well, actually, it was more about...
Wait, what happened?
You break her heart?
Wow.
But no.
I may be a musician, but I'm not a walking cliche.
And I'm loyal, especially when it comes to love.
Sorry, that came out a little...
It's all right.
But we did date briefly.
I bet you one of you wanted the whole package.
Right?
Marriage, kids, golden doodle?
No, it was never that serious.
But she had this big dream for the band,
like this whole vision, and I just wasn't into it anymore.
My heart wasn't in it.
Still, it's sweet you stayed close.
Oh, yes, of course.
Merci.
Thank you.
I have a special treat for you.
In the audience is a very talented musician,
someone who I played with in another life.
Would you like to hear him play?
Stop, no.
Yes, he would love to.
Go.
You got it.
Go.
This is crazy.
This is amazing.
Thank you, Amelie.
It is an honor to play for you all,
and I hope you enjoy and right away.
Wait, he's really good.
He actually is.
He's really good.
He's pretty good.
I'll be right back.
OK.
Hey, stranger.
Hi.
Hey, I'm sorry I disappeared like that.
I needed to think.
Yeah, I figured.
Just I think I needed...
Space, right?
I don't know what to say.
Try where are you?
Oh, I'm in France.
French Alps.
Actually, I flew here to climb a mountain.
When you said you needed space,
I thought you meant your sister's for a few days.
Yeah.
I know it sounds crazy.
I just, um...
Yeah, needed to run from anything
that makes you uncomfortable.
Hey, that's not fair.
Isn't it?
How much more time do you need to figure things out?
I just don't know if... if we want the same things.
Yeah.
I know it's hard to understand.
Yeah, it's... it's really hard to understand something
that's always been so clear to me.
I should let you go.
OK, I love you.
Since when did you start waking up before me?
Doesn't feel right.
I'm in tune with mother nature.
When she wakes up, so do I.
That's the most obnoxious way
you could have answered that.
Thank you.
What are you reading?
Oh, Mont Blanc is one of the most dangerous mountains
in the world due to avalanches, crevasses, sudden weather
changes, and altitude sickness.
Yeah, well, that's why we have Freddie.
Why would Grams want us to do this?
Oh, by the way, he went into town this morning.
He'll be back soon.
Oh.
You saw him this morning?
Yeah, he was up not long after me.
Why?
No reason.
Just curious.
You actually like him, don't you?
I don't know.
I mean, I saw him talking to Amelie last night,
and they seemed kind of chummy.
Are you jealous?
Don't be ridiculous.
I hardly know the guy.
I'm just, uh, I'm just curious if our guide is ditching us
for some French flame.
This is fun.
I've never seen you hung up on a guy before.
I am not hung up on him, OK?
I'm just... you know what, let's just drop it,
because it's not like you and I really talk about this stuff
anyway.
Yeah, OK.
Consider it dropped.
Tok, tok, tok.
Hi.
Ah, she's up.
She is.
Are you guys ready to go?
Go?
I thought we were having brunch at the chalet.
Yes, we will have brunch,
but I thought that we could add a little twist
and make some memories of our own.
I'm intrigued.
You know I'm in.
Great.
So dress warm and meet me outside.
Oh, and I invited Amelie.
I hope you guys don't mind.
The more the merrier.
Perfect.
OK.
Yes. Yes.
You haven't had brunch until you've had brunch
on the side of a mountain.
And Amelie is in charge of the ice bar.
Hello.
This is very impressive.
Right?
Cheers to old memories creating new ones.
Cheers!
Wow.
OK.
How do you say, may I have a crepe?
Perfect.
I can't believe Grandma was here 60 years ago.
I wish I could have known her back then.
She seemed so free.
Adventurous.
I'd like to think that Grandma and I were
similar that way.
I think I got my wanderlust from her.
Well, I didn't get anything like that from her.
I don't have an adventurous bone in my body.
Well, I don't know if that's true.
I mean, you're here now, about to climb
a mountain in a couple of days.
Yeah.
I think you're more alike than you think.
Well, she did plan a spa day today.
Spa day.
That's right up your alley, Kels.
Now, this is a local specialty.
We have incredible thermal springs here.
That reminds me.
They gave me this when I confirmed our appointment.
New letter.
Here we go.
Let's see.
When your grandfather said
we'd start the day at a spa, I pictured massages and cocktails,
but he omitted a key detail.
The cold plunge.
Cold plunge?
It'll be good for you.
It'll be good for all of us.
That is not what a spa day means back home.
You go first.
OK.
OK, here we go.
Here we go.
Oh my gosh.
Breathe.
You have to breathe.
It hurts, but it feels good.
I could stay here all day.
If only.
It's going to be so cold when we leave
this little slice of heaven.
Try not to scream again.
That was terrifying.
OK, I'll admit I wasn't crazy about it at first,
but a little wisdom from Grandma has emboldened my spirit.
You know, I was really surprised to read that.
I didn't think Grandma was scared of anything.
Kind of reminds me of you.
Well, maybe the version of Grandma you remember
wasn't entirely up to date.
What's that supposed to mean?
Nothing.
No.
I'm going to jump in the hot pool one last time.
Yeah, it's a good idea.
Oh, yeah.
This is it.
Maybe my memory of grandma
isn't entirely up to date.
Was that it?
Grandma was different after Grandpa died.
When you left, she slowed down a little.
She wasn't the daredevil she used to be.
Well, yeah, she turned 70.
It tends to happen.
I'm going to go cold plunge.
It wasn't just getting older.
After Grandpa died, she wasn't as much of an adventure seeker.
Or maybe I rubbed off on her more after you left.
There it is.
So I left, and now you're closer to Grandma than I was.
That is not what I said.
Maybe that's why Grandma planned this trip.
So that you could grow a backbone.
Be a shame to let her down, right?
You think that all of this is for me?
Because I think that there is plenty
you can learn from all this.
Yeah?
Like what?
Oh, I don't know, about being scared of committing
yourself to someone.
What you said last night about one person not wanting
to settle down.
Was that really aimed at Frederic?
You don't know what you're talking about.
Nope, I don't, because you don't tell me anything,
because you're never around.
Have you talked to Faith?
She just needs some time to cool off.
Things will be back to normal by tomorrow.
I find that hard to believe.
I take it you don't have siblings?
Yeah, this is pretty standard fare.
It happens every few years with us.
We don't see each other that often, but when we do.
But, I mean, still, it must be hard, no?
Not seeing each other for so long?
Honestly, I'm used to it.
Faith moved out when she was 18 and started traveling.
She's been passing through our lives ever since.
Things were rough at home when she left.
Grandpa had just passed, and I could have used her help,
but she wasn't there.
We've been growing apart ever since.
Yeah, I know a little bit about that.
Drifting around.
After college, I didn't know what to do with my life.
And I studied music, so of course I was broke.
So I started giving tours to pay rent.
But without realizing, years had passed.
And the further my dream got away from me, the more depressed
I got.
So I left it all behind.
My apartment, my relationship, my guitar.
And I've been doing this ever since.
You and Amelie are...
Just friends.
Chamonix is way too small to try to avoid an ex,
especially one from so long ago.
And you just gave music up?
Well, no, occasionally I write songs,
but they're just for me.
I do the same thing, actually.
I write stories.
You do?
Mm-hmm.
I write stories about the pictures I take.
I've done it for years.
But you don't share them with anyone?
No.
No, no.
No.
The only person who has read my writing is Grandma,
and she did always encourage me.
She said I should capture my own adventures instead of other
people's.
So why don't you?
Um, because it's hard.
It's scary to put yourself out there.
What if people don't like it?
What if it doesn't work out?
Wow.
Sure, but is it any less scary than not trying?
I don't know.
You tell me.
OK.
Touch.
OK, I'll make you a deal.
You share one of your stories with me,
and I'll play another gig.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
All right.
Deal.
It's a shame you missed last night.
La Coute Forestiere is magnificiant.
Oh, yeah.
It's probably for the best.
Food fight might have broken out.
How was the yoga holiday party with Amelie,
though?
Festive.
It's interesting.
I've never seen so many flexible Santas.
Bonjour.
Good morning.
Our Faith made some tea and coffee,
and there's some fresh croissants on the table.
Merci.
OK, then I will go get some more firewood.
So I know we don't see each other that often,
but if we're going to do this for Grandma,
I think we should at least try to get along.
Agreed?
OK, I'll say it first.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry too.
Hey, you know, at least there's only a couple more days
left in the trip.
Yeah.
Maybe by some miracle, we won't kill each other.
How was dinner?
Frederic said you had a nice time.
Yeah, it was nice.
Turns out he's not so bad when he's not being obnoxious.
Whoa, that is high praise coming from you.
If it had been a date, it would
have been my best in years.
Did you and Frederic make out?
No.
Oh, come on, did you?
No.
Oh, that's a shame.
It's like Grandma's setting you up.
Wouldn't be the first time she's pulled matchmaker.
Little does she's setting you up with the most
handsome man on the mountain.
I hadn't noticed.
Things seem a little more civil.
The temperature's definitely up.
Hey, what's on the agenda for today?
Here.
Train to Saint Gervais.
Hey, isn't that where you're from?
Yes.
It's a little town, but with lots of secrets.
I still don't understand why.
Grandma wanted us to come all the way to Saint.
Gervais for lunch.
Well, perhaps we'll learn more once we get there.
What are you hiding?
Nothing.
I am just following Henry's instructions.
That's all.
Fortunately, we are here.
Hello, Celeste!
Oh, Frederic.
How are you?
I missed you so much!
Here, I'd like you to meet Kelly and Faith.
Kelly, Faith, I'd like both of you
to meet Rebecca and Albert's tour guide.
Wow.
Bonjour.
Come in, come in.
Yes, yes, yes.
This is the best fondue I have ever had.
She says it's one of the best fondues she's ever eaten.
Oh, thank you!
Did our grandparents really have lunch
here back then?
So they would like to know if their grandparents
actually ate here and how you met them?
Oh, Rebecca and Albert, yes, of course, they ate here,
and I was even the one who took them to Lovers' Ridge.
So yes, they ate here.
And they met at Le Crete des Amoureux.
What's that?
Is this a French thing?
She's going to show you.
Couples journey here to get engaged.
In English, you would call it Lover's Ridge.
This is where Grandpa proposed to Grandma.
Is this where we're going tomorrow?
It is.
Yes.
Partway up Mont Blanc.
I hope my grandson has been helpful to you.
Grandson?
Wait, Celeste is your grandmother?
What?
Why didn't you tell us?
Well, I told you all will be revealed.
No, OK, you see these locks?
Local legend says that anyone who
hangs a lock at Lover's Ridge will be bound together forever.
Whoa.
Together forever?
It's pretty terrifying, no?
Maybe.
But I think it's a risk worth taking.
I think it's sweet.
And popular.
They started selling locks at the local gift shops.
But what's even more romantic is if you propose before Christmas
on Christmas Eve, you are destined
to have a happy and long marriage as soulmates.
That's why Gram wants us to make it there by then.
She wants us to experience the same moment
her life with her soulmate began.
Wow.
Merci, Celeste.
It's incredible when I see you both,
you remind me of Rebecca.
She says that you both remind her of Rebecca.
Thank you.
And you, I see how you are looking at her?
Oh, it's freezing, but like, in a good way.
OK, so here we have Santa Claus.
Or as we call him, Papa Noel.
You guys want to take a picture with him?
Yes.
Come on, Kelly, this is so fun.
Thank you.
So, do you think Santa Claus has naturally curly hair,
or does he get a perm a couple times a year?
It's natural for sure.
But Mrs. Claus must have to style it.
Yes.
It's your turn, sweetie.
I want Mom.
It's OK.
I'll go with you.
Shall we go?
Yeah.
You OK?
Yeah.
It's our turn.
Come on.
Always that.
Hi.
OK, ready?
One, two, three.
OK, come on up, Freddie.
Get in here.
OK.
Hi, Santa.
One, two, three - cheese!
Ho, ho, ho.
Thank you, Santa.
I do not want this day to end.
Same.
So much fresh Alpine energy in the air.
Well, then it's a good thing
that the night's still young.
Yeah, so when you're not on tour guide duty, what's
the move?
What are the locals doing?
Oh, good question.
Honestly, I'd be going to a holiday party.
I mean, it's kind of like this low key under the radar thing,
but it's only the mountain staff, the locals, DJ,
and questionable dance moves.
Say less.
We're crashing it.
You sure about that?
Does Santa fly a sleigh?
OK.
I hope you guys are good at wrapping toys.
This is where the locals go?
Yeah, this is just the beginning.
Faith, Kelly, you're here.
Hello Frederic!
Hey, how are you?
Come.
Let me pick you up at one of the tables.
So, have you always done the toy drive?
Actually, it was Frederic's idea.
He saw the need for some of the families
in the area who needed a little extra help.
Well, that is so sweet.
OK, we brought presents.
Here you go.
You have so much wrapping paper.
OK, of course I got the hardest thing to wrap.
Oh, that's so cute.
I don't know if it's cute.
Do you have kids, Faith?
Me?
No.
Nope.
No.
OK.
Faith is more of a free spirit.
She goes where the wind blows her.
Well, I guess that's true.
That's go true.
How's the gift wrapping coming along?
I mean, I don't want to brag,
but I'm ready to put a bow on.
I'm kind of nailing it, right?
That looks good.
Very impressive.
Thank you.
Usually a little better, but I think I had an odd shape.
That looks like a tragedy right there.
Yeah.
You know, Grandma would have loved this.
Definitely would have been on her itinerary.
Yeah.
It was so nice meeting Celeste.
Yes, wasn't it?
Getting to actually talk to somebody who was there
when Grandma and Grandpa got engaged.
I mean, not talk, but you know what I mean.
Oh, I promise you, despite the language barrier,
she loved meeting both of you.
Hey, what did she say about Kelly and her eyes
at the end?
Maybe we keep that translation for another time.
OK, what do you guys say we shake things
up and hit the dance floor?
Oh, no.
I'm kind of into this.
Like, since when do you get to go to a Christmas party
where there's an actual activity?
You know?
Yeah, I'm good for now too.
Kelly.
I think I'm going to need a glass of something, preferably
sparkling, before I make a fool of myself.
No problem.
Come with me.
Because at this rate, we're going
to run out of wrapping paper.
See you in a bit.
OK.
He lights up around her.
It's nice to see.
Yeah.
I haven't seen her this happy in a long time.
She carries so much.
They look kind of good together, right?
Yeah, really good.
How about you?
Anyone back home?
There is.
Oh.
Tell me about him.
Oh, gosh.
Um, he's loyal.
He's kind.
Makes me laugh.
He's been the one constant in my life for a very long time.
And, um.
And?
Well, he proposed.
Wow!
I know.
But I left him hanging.
I haven't told anybody this, so.
OK.
So you ran?
I did.
I ran.
I ran all the way here to climb a giant mountain.
Distract myself with yet another daring adventure.
Well, it's scary to feel that much for someone,
because the feeling of losing them is too much.
Wow, I hadn't thought about it like that.
Yeah.
Speaking in yoga terms, once my teacher said,
sometimes the mountain you have to climb is out there,
and sometimes the mountain is your own limiting beliefs
within you.
Whoa.
You're good at this.
Thank you.
Bad at taking advice and good at giving it.
It's a talent.
No, I can relate.
Two glasses of champagne please.
I'm so happy to be here.
Yeah, to the party?
No, to your charming ski village.
Minus the big climb tomorrow, which I am really not ready for.
You'll be fine if Rebecca and Albert were
able to do it.
And if you fall, I catch you.
Cheers!
It's strange.
First Christmas without her.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's unfortunate.
Our bodies grow old, but our spirits stay young.
Yeah, maybe.
I think there's more to it than that, but I don't know.
Part of me thinks that once she had
to take care of me and Faith, Grandma
had to put her life of adventure on hold
and she never really got back to it after that.
Our mom died when I was in grade school.
A car accident.
Dad couldn't handle it and took off.
The only people left were Grandma and Grandpa.
And having to raise us, there weren't many adventures
after that.
No, I think raising both of you
was their greatest adventure of all.
Sorry.
I don't mean to be such a downer, I just...
I don't really get to talk about it that much.
I don't mind.
OK.
Time to shake it off.
I'm ready.
Twist my arm.
Let's go.
Wow.
Wow, OK, all right.
Oh.
Oh my.
Are these the moves you were talking about?
Mm-hmm.
Is it working?
Oh, jury's still out.
Oh wow.
Oh, if only I asked the DJ to play a slow song
as soon as I brought you on here on the dance floor.
That would be a move.
Mm-hmm.
Mademoiselle.
Is this OK?
It's OK.
I don't mind.
Sorry.
I'm leaving in a couple of days.
I don't want to be just a holiday fling.
It's not like we're ever going to see each other again
after this.
I don't want this to just be a holiday fling.
Maybe we should call it a night.
We have a very big day tomorrow.
You're probably right.
For you.
Thanks.
You ready?
Ready as I'll ever be.
OK, good.
This is everything you need to climb a mountain.
Hats, gloves, boots, and some really nice climbing gears.
Why do we need an ice ax?
Well, because the final climb can be pretty steep,
so we need to be prepared.
OK.
This is a lot to dump on someone morning of.
No, no, no.
Listen, you'll be OK.
I'll be with you the whole way.
Besides, there's a cabin along the way.
So if we need to rest or if there's a snow storm,
we can wait it out.
A snowstorm?
Yeah.
OK, I just, um, I am not this person.
And doesn't this feel dangerous to you?
I need some air.
She's fine.
She just, she needs a minute to process.
Are you sure?
Yeah, totally sure.
I mean, pretty sure.
See?
Not so bad for your first cable car ride.
First stop reached.
And now we eat.
It was especially impressive
considering she didn't look out the window once,
which is amazing, because the entire thing is basically
all windows.
It is perfectly unnatural to be
riding in a glass box that's hanging from the sky.
OK.
That thing swayed and my life flashed before my eyes.
OK.
I'm just glad it's over.
Seriously, someone's going to have to knock me out
for the way down.
Ooh, yeah, about that.
Our next step is to take a second cable car all the way up
there.
To the Aiguille du Midi.
Is there another way?
It's the only way, because this is
the starting point of a hike.
We hike the first leg, and then we
stop at a cabin for some rest before the final climb
to Crête des Amoureux.
OK, that doesn't sound so bad.
Yeah, no.
It's fine.
Uh-huh.
OK, I'm going to go talk
to the chef, who's a friend of mine,
and see what local specialties they have today.
Any requests?
Oh, I've lost my appetite.
I think we'll take anything French and Alpine.
And wine.
We're going to need lots of wine.
You got it.
Bye.
I don't understand.
What is the point of coming all the way out here
if you're not even going to try to enjoy yourself?
Would you like a formal apology for my anxiety?
OK.
Perhaps a monogrammed note card?
Kels, I love you.
I love you so much, but literally everything
is outside of your comfort zone.
I mean, I think that's a problem.
I think it's time that we unpacked why.
That's good.
You want to talk about emotional unpacking?
At least I have a comfort zone.
You live out of a suitcase and call it free spirited.
Do you ever wonder what you're running from?
OK, we'll drop it.
Don't worry about it.
No, we won't drop it, because you
make it sound like I'm the only one with issues,
but at least I'm here.
I'm trying.
And you just keep moving around so you
don't have to feel anything.
Hey.
Isn't this place incredible?
Oh, good.
The wine's here.
Here for you.
And for you.
Did I miss something?
No, no.
Just adjusting to the altitude.
Yeah.
You know, I think it's time for a toast.
To Grandma.
I hope that our journey is worthy of the life
that you've lived.
And we're going to miss you so much.
Anything you'd like to say, Kelly?
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
Cheers to that.
Cheers!
OK, here we go.
Hey, come on.
We got this.
Thank you.
You'll be OK.
OK.
I think I'm ready to live on the edge.
Yes, you are.
All right, come on.
You got this.
Three, two, one.
Open your eyes.
Hi.
Oh, so this is what all the fuss was about.
It's a panoramic view of the Alps.
Wow.
It's really breathtaking.
Yeah.
Like, I can feel the air getting thinner.
Oh, that's because it is getting thinner.
We're rising at an altitude of 12,605 feet.
This is the highest accessible point in Europe by cable car.
It's incredible.
On a clear day, you could see Mont Blanc,
Switzerland, and Italy.
They say it's like sitting on the roof of Europe.
No turning back now.
No.
Here we are.
This is Aiguille du Midi, which means needle of the midday,
because the sun passes over the summit right around noon.
So be careful.
Walk slowly so you can adjust to the altitude.
I mean, I was out of breath just standing there.
Yeah, that's normal.
Everybody adjusts differently.
How you doing, Kels?
You OK?
I'm doing surprisingly well,
considering the lack of oxygen.
Good.
Then you won't put up a fight.
What are you talking about?
I saw something cool.
Come on.
It's nice, huh?
It's like we're in the clouds.
We're on top of the clouds.
You're right.
They're below us.
Oh my gosh.
Wait.
Wait, Faith, what is this?
OK, so this is an exhibit.
What's it... what's it called, Freddie?
Le Pas du Vide.
Step into the void.
The void?
Yeah.
Yeah, no, I'm not stepping into that.
Come on.
What did you say in your toast?
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing?
Come on, we're doing this.
Come on.
Put your slippers on.
OK, slippers on.
Faith, if you let go of my hand, I will scream.
I'm not letting go.
Come on.
Isn't it incredible?
Freddie, get in here.
OK.
Smile.
Oh my gosh, I've never seen anything like this.
I'm on top of the world!
Everybody OK back there?
Yeah, feeling good.
How about you, Kelly?
I'm OK.
This is a lot harder than spin class.
I'm actually really impressed with you, Kels.
I thought I was going to have to drag you
up the mountain on a sled.
Is that an option?
Here.
Why don't we stop here for a second
and catch our breath, huh?
Yeah.
So we are on the highest
mountain of Western Europe.
I mean, look at this.
I truly love this view.
And it only gets better the higher we go.
Which, by the way...
Are we getting close?
Yeah, not much longer.
The cabin is right around the next bend.
Which is good, actually, because I
don't know how long the weather is going to hold.
Is there a storm coming?
I'm not sure.
But we better get moving.
OK.
The weather changed fast.
OK.
You guys OK?
Yeah.
Yep.
OK.
Are we getting close?
I don't know.
Oh, gosh.
OK, we're here.
Is it open?
Yeah.
You OK, Kels?
Come on.
Everybody OK?
Kelly?
Yeah.
I just need to catch my breath.
Oh, wow.
You guys need to see this.
This is perfect.
It's like someone did it for us.
They did.
Oh, there's something inside.
Oh, there it is?
Wow.
Grandma really had us pegged.
Oh.
Something here for you, too, Frederic.
Oh.
Wow.
To my peach for when you decide to put down roots.
Love, Grandma.
Life is short.
I got you started.
The rest is up to you.
Love, Grandma.
Frederic, never give up.
A dream is a terrible thing to waste.
Well, it would be a shame to not take
advantage of such a cozy place.
I'm going to make some hot chocolate.
OK.
That's a good idea.
We might be here for a bit.
Oh, yeah?
How long until the snow lets up?
Oh, I don't know.
It could be 15 minutes, but it could also be a couple of hours.
Well, it's a couple hours until sunset.
We still have a bit we need to hike.
You said it's close, though, right?
Yes, it's less than a mile.
But even with good weather, it is a slow climb
with the incline and the snow.
And after dark, it's way too dangerous.
So we might have to spend the night here and try again
tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
No, no.
That's not going to work.
Tell that to the mountain.
No, it has to be today.
That was the entire point of coming here.
Well, I think Grandma would rather
have us be late than hurt.
We've come all this way.
We can't just stop now.
Faith, we're not going out there.
That would be insane.
Why are you being so weird about this?
She's right.
It's too dangerous.
Oh, great.
Now we've got two Kellys on this trip.
What is that supposed to mean?
OK, fine.
We'll wait.
But the second it stops snowing, we're
going right back out there.
OK.
Yeah.
I'm going out there.
It's starting to let up.
And if we leave now, we'll probably make it in time.
It'll probably stop snowing as we're on our way
up the mountain.
Um, it could get worse.
Why are you being so adamant about this?
We can go tomorrow.
I would like to actually finish what we started.
I'm just asking for you to be brave a little bit longer.
There is a difference between being brave and being
stupid.
Wow.
I can't always be the voice of reason, Faith.
It would be so great if just once you could be responsible.
I had no idea you thought so little of me.
Well, I didn't mean...
Save it.
I know you live this safe life, but I got
to tell you something, Kels.
You need to take a chance on something eventually.
And if it's not on this trip, you
need to take a chance on someone.
I don't want the good things in life
to pass you by because you're too scared to go after them.
Where are you going?
I need some time alone.
Are you OK?
I think I actually also need some space.
Yeah.
You and Faith say that a lot.
I actually think you need the opposite.
Go talk to her.
What she said...
You don't... you don't have to explain.
I'm sure she didn't mean most of it.
No, it's... it's not that.
It's just I can't do another long distance relationship.
Yes.
I guess we got caught up in things.
Yeah.
I think I just need to lie down for a bit, if that's OK.
Yes, of course.
I'll give you some space.
Kelly.
Kelly, hey, Kelly.
Hey, wake up.
Wake up.
What, what?
It's Faith.
She's gone, and I don't know how long ago she left.
What?
She went up there alone?
Yes.
And trying it in the snow by herself is dangerous.
We have to go after her.
We can't let anything happen to her.
No, no, no.
You stay here and I'll go.
The storm has stopped.
The weather can change anytime.
Well, that's a risk that we're going to have to take.
It's not safe.
Exactly.
We have a better chance of making it if we go together.
Faith is my sister.
Just because we had a fight doesn't
mean I'm going to let her freeze to death on a mountain
or let you get hurt trying to bring her back.
OK.
Stay close.
OK.
Faith!
Faith, where are you?
She doesn't know where to go.
Faith!
Be careful.
There is a cliff on the right.
Let me help you.
Kelly, where are you?
Faith?
Faith!
Kelly?
Kelly!
What were you thinking?
I'm so happy you're here.
I got totally lost and the snow covered my tracks
and I didn't know where I was and I
was trying to get my way back to the cabin
and I couldn't find you.
You could have fallen off of a cliff.
You could have been frozen.
You could have... you could have been buried in snow.
I know.
I'm sorry.
OK, I'm going to give you guys some space.
I was so stupid.
I just wanted to, like, get here in time, you know?
I didn't want to let Grandma down.
I didn't want to let you down.
What are you talking about?
You were right.
You've always been the responsible one.
You were there when she needed us most, and I just took off.
And don't try to deny it.
I've known this for a long time.
I've just been avoiding it, just like everything else.
But then she died, and it was like I could never
make it right.
When Henry told us about this final wish,
I thought, OK, this is it.
This is something that I can do for her.
Then I think I just...
I screwed that up too.
No, you didn't.
You made it.
I don't just mean the trip.
I mean us.
I really wanted us to feel like sisters again.
But even that was stupid, because one week doesn't make up
for 17 years of neglect.
Well, it's not all your fault.
I could have tried harder too.
I mean, it's not like you didn't invite me to visit.
I was mad when you left.
Jealous, I guess.
But I'm the one that decided to live in a bubble.
But if there's anything this week taught me,
it's that a little adventure won't kill me.
And I think I kind of like it.
Maybe there's a little Grandma in me after all.
Oh.
You really scared me.
I can't lose you too.
I'm really sorry, Kels.
I love you so much.
I love you too.
Let's do this thing.
Really?
You think we still can?
Yes.
Do you have any snacks?
No.
Careful.
All right, we're here.
There it is.
Wow.
Oh my gosh.
We are here!
There it is.
Oh my gosh.
Wow.
Wait, where is it?
Where is it?
Where?
Oh, here it is.
Oh, wow.
This is where it all began for them.
This is surreal.
Isn't it?
Standing here where they once stood.
I think you can hear their story echoing through this place.
I miss them so much.
I wish they could see us now.
They'd be so proud.
I think they would.
Wait, wait.
Where is it?
This is the spot.
Wow.
Merry Christmas, Grandma and Grandpa.
Hey, there's something I haven't told you.
What?
Ben proposed to me back home.
What?
Yeah.
Faith, what?
Why didn't you tell me?
I was scared.
I was scared that committing to a life with Ben
would mean losing myself or my freedom, my sense of adventure.
But here's the thing.
I think this trip has taught me that committing
to a life with Ben would be the most daring adventure of them
all.
I'm so proud of you.
Me too.
I hope when I get back home, the offer still stands.
Hey, look what I got in the gift shop.
Oh.
Will you take a picture with me with the... yeah.
Of course.
OK.
Ready?
Yep.
I think I found my next story to tell,
if you're OK with it.
Well, I would like to be the first person
to read that story, if you'll let me.
Yes.
I'm proud of you.
I'll be right back.
Yeah.
Hey, Frederic.
Yeah?
OK, Ben.
Here we go.
So we had such a good time touring around France.
How do you feel about visiting New York?
You would be my tour guide?
Yes.
I'm trying to be more honest about what I want.
And I don't want to say goodbye so soon.
I wasn't going to let you.
You know, Bob Dylan got his start not far
from our apartment.
Maybe it's the inspiration you need.
Or maybe I just needed a better muse.
Maybe.
This is just so "magnifique".
You're so French.
Can't help it.
OK, everyone squeeze in.
I got a photo album to fill.
Wait, me?
Yes, you.
Yeah, come on, Faith.
Oh, gosh.
It's a steep cliff.
Sister.
OK.
Oh, wait, that reminds me.
I found this in Grandma's stocking.
Oh?
We should read it together.
Yeah.
OK.
Ah!
My girls, if you're reading this,
it means you made it, and I'm so thankful for that.
I know I asked a lot with this whole ordeal.
Kelly, you have so many stories to tell.
And now that I'm no longer there to read them,
perhaps you'll let a few others enjoy them as much as I did.
Maybe it's time to take a leap of faith.
Faith, you've always been so bold in chasing after life.
Remember where home is too and the people who love you.
The two of you were my greatest adventure.
I will always watch over you.
Love, Grandma.
Cheers.
Yes.
