“Between Sky and Earth” – A film portrait of Yves Oltramare by Plans Fixes Films
On the occasion of Yves Oltramare’s 100th birthday, founder of the Institut À Ciel Ouvert, a film was produced in May 2025 by the Films Plans Fixes association in Geneva. Through an interview in which he reflects on his life, discover the portrait of this remarkable man: banker, philanthropist, and a leading figure in wealth management. And yet, one question has always guided him: What is the meaning of life? His spiritual quest became central — as expressed in his book You Shall Be a Seeker of Humanity — and in this deeply moving film.
