The hyper commercial world of professional freeride skiing collides with the purist misanthropic ways of the mountaineer, when internationally renowned skier and filmmaker Nikolai Schirmer discovers that his reclusive childhood friend is embarking on a ski tour like nothing done before, and that he’s not planning to tell a soul. Vegard Rye is training to climb and ski 27 mountains in a single push. To be able to achieve this inhuman feat Vegard is isolating himself from friends and family, living in caves and dedicating his entire existence to better himself. Nikolai sets out to share his friend’s story with the world, telling everyone it’s «the greatest ski tour of all time». Vegard reluctantly lets Nikolai and his team point a camera at him, for old time’s sake.
