In the summer of 1984 Reinhold Messner and Hans Kammerlander attempted to climb two eight-thousanders (Gasherbrum I and Gasherbrum II) during the same expedition. The challenge: to make it in seven days, without interruption, without oxygen, without sophisticated equipment and without descending to the base camp. This makes Messner an ideal subject for filmmaker Werner Herzog: he is an obsessive man who carries out useless plans under extreme conditions. The film is not so much concerned with showing the climb itself or giving guidelines on mountaineering, but seeks to reveal the inner motivation of the climbers.
