Marie-Louise Chapelle was the first French woman to reach an unclimbed peak in the Himalayas in 1952. Chapelle led a double life, being a mother for six months a year and braving unclimbed mountains the other six. Seventy years later, Ellen Vermeulen repeats this difficult climb. A film about limits and the complexity of being a woman mountaineer.
