After fatal accidents involving two Dutch climbers in 2009 and 2011, in April 2014 the investigative journalist Geertjan Lassche decides to follow a new expedition on the Cho Oyu, the sixth highest mountain in the world. Lassche tries to shed light on the real dynamics within a heterogeneous group of people participating in a similar feat and above all on the confine between reality and imagination, responsibility and attention-seeking, terms which often struggle to coexist at high altitude.
