About This Movie
Benjamin Védrines, one of the world’s best alpinists, dreams of taking on the “savage mountain” (8611m, the second-highest peak in the world). But what does K2 truly represent for this accomplished climber: the pursuit of a new record, the shadow of past failures, or a deeply personal trial? After a first attempt that ended in a serious accident, Benjamin returns with even greater determination to take on an audacious challenge: a one-day ascent of K2, without supplemental oxygen, followed by a descent with his paraglider. A gripping and thought-provoking film that explores the meaning of success and commitment in the realm of extreme altitude.
