This is not just another travelogue or adventure documentary. Our story is a nonlinear narrative that delves into the psyche of athletes who risk everything with each expedition, uncertain if they'll ever return home to their loved ones. Alongside their journey through the breathtaking landscapes of Nepal, we explore the emotional rollercoaster experienced by their families and friends back in the Czech Republic through intimate interviews. As the athletes ascend higher, the stakes grow exponentially, shattering the initial illusion of an ideal adventure. Inspired by the Oscar-winning documentary "Free Solo," we aim to uncover the profound motivations driving these individuals to embrace such extreme risks. The story reaches its poignant climax with the birth of Tomas’s second son, whose arrival is expected at the same time the team is poised to make their daring descent.
