At the summit of the Sri Pada, a rocky summit in Sri Lanka, a giant footprint is embedded in the stone. The footprint is attributed to Buddha, Adam, Shiva or Saint Thomas, depending on the religion of those who honour the mountain.

Like thousands of pilgrims, Philippe sets out to climb “Adam’s Peak”. There are 5,000 steps up to the 2,200-metre summit. Alain is a pastor and accompanies Philippe on this physical and spiritual ascension that takes place at night. A journey of discovery that will enable them to interpret the religious rituals and beliefs linked to this exceptional place.
