The international mountain guide Pasang Lhamu Sherpa Akita reflects on her personal highs and lows, and rediscovers for herself just how much the mountains have meant to her. The film offers insights into her struggle to balance mountaineering with motherhood, and the pressures of respecting her traditional culture while pushing boundaries as an elite female athlete. Returning to her mountain-home and life-long passion, in the Everest region, Pasang proclaims, “Everyone has a right to follow their dreams.”
