Shot in Spain, France, California, Venezuela, Greece, Utah and Majorca the film deals with Chris Sharma’s most daring ascents and ambitious projects. It describes the nomadic and fascinating life of this professional climber and citizen of the world who is constantly moving and searching for new challenges. Together with Sharma we meet other great first-rate climbers, such as Dani Andrada, Dave Graham, Ethan Pringle, Melissa Lacasse and Jibe Tribou. The film follows them while they are travelling around the world looking for new challenges and most impressive ascents from which they may draw inspiration. But above all, the film is about Sharma’s life, his motivations and strength that urge him to be among the best representatives in the world of this stimulating but demanding sport.
