Synopsis

The film follows the tragic 2013 expedition of Zsolt Erőss to scale the Himalayan peak Kangchenjunga. While he successfully reaches the summit, he dies during the descent, leaving behind his wife Hilda Sterczer and their two children. The story is told entirely through Hilda's perspective as she helplessly follows the events from thousands of miles away, endures a media onslaught that attempts to tear her down, and ultimately must confront her own grief. The film is a poignant portrait of grief and mourning, exploring the public pressure faced by a widow, the slow process of coming to terms with loss, and the "metaphorical mountain" Hilda must climb to emerge from the darkness and forge a new identity for herself.
