“In the hero narrative on the mountain, there are the admirable ones and those who are afraid – but that’s not true. Everyone is afraid, and it’s just a question of how you deal with it.” The women of the German Alpine Club’s expedition team train to manage risk and fear – as it sharpens the senses and activates unimagined physical powers. Only then can they, as a team, weigh the hardest decision of all: those who want to live long must also dare to abort an expedition. Dizzying drone footage accompanies the women on their journey from dangerous steep walls to the summit, while reflective conversations address euphoria, willpower, connectedness with nature, team spirit, and fears. A fascinating film about boundaries and boundlessness.
