In this documentary Messner talks about his conquest of 14 8000s in the world, from the first one of Everest without oxygen to all the others, the last of which he climbed last autumn. Messner says one needs some essential qualities to make these conquests, such as a perfect technical ability, physical strength, great determination and will power, but one must also know one's limits. The film also shows some scenes of previous attempts made in 1924 by the expedition led by Mallory that reached over 8500 m.
