Your mobile phone rings. A voice asks you to help in a rescue mission on one of the most dangerous mountains in the Himalayas. If you accept, you will be putting your own life at risk. This film is the story of a group of people who received just such a phone call. They did not hesitate and replied “I’m on my way”. Despite putting themselves at risk, they all responded to one of humanity’s most basic instincts: the urge to help save someone’s life. During the exceptional rescue operation which unfolds, we discover that these people share not only a love for the mountains they climb, but also profound principles and goals that define the way they live their lives. This film is a journey depicting core values and the essence of human nature.
