Mount Everest has become a graveyard strewn with the bodies of dead climbers. To appease the angry Mountain Gods, famed Nepalese mountaineer and national hero, Mingma Tsiri Sherpa, risks everything to return to Everest one last time and attempt to recover a body.
A faithful documentary that captures the solemn yet grueling journey, the hidden side of high-altitude mountaineering. Mingma Tsiri Sherpa's monologue invites reflection not only on mountaineering but on our attitude toward life.
