The children of acclaimed alpinists, who died on K2 in Karakorum Mountains, undertake an expedition to answer the question: what is the price of passion.
In the summer of 1986, several dozen alpinists from all over the world met to climb K2, the second highest mountain on the planet. Very soon the season transforms into a series of tragic events that become known as the “black summer”, leaving 13 climbers dead.
Almost 30 years later, Eliza Kubarska, the director of the film, together with an international group of grown-up children of acclaimed climbers, sets out on an expedition to reach K2 base camp, symbolic burial place for those who lost their lives on the mountain.
Director – Eliza Kubarska
