Three friends, three pairs of skis, one goal: to explore the unexpected.
Anatolia is an adventure film that takes us to the heart of Turkey, far from clichés and tourist itineraries. From the Mediterranean coast of Antalya to the snow-capped peaks of the Kaçkar Mountains, to the far reaches of the country in Van and Hakkâri, at the gateway to Iraq, this unique journey combines challenging descents, profound encounters, and the discovery of an incredible culture.
Quentin, an insatiably curious person; Yannick, a seasoned skier and explorer; and Assima, an eternal optimist in love with the world, form a team united by friendship, a taste for challenge, and a desire to share the authentic. Together, they travel through a surprising, wild, and welcoming Anatolia, where every peak is an adventure, and every village, a lesson in humanity.
More than a ski film, Anatolia is an invitation to travel, to encounter, and to surpass oneself. The first chapter of a long-term project, which could well take them even further east...
