Andy Holzer is an extreme mountaineer and he has already climbed six of the 'Seven Summits'. What makes the difference between him and other professional alpinists? He is blind. Nevertheless, one can meet him in places where one would not expect blind persons, that is: in steep faces, where he is climbing, skiing and mountain biking. In his speeches for managers, he explains the world to the seeing people. This film shows in a thrilling but also funny way, how liberating it can be to adhere to weaknesses, and to concentrate on potencies.

Despite being unable to see, mountaineer Andy Holzer, has experienced sacred places in Jerusalem, the Jordanian desert and the rocks of Wadi Rum. Blind from birth, Holzer, from Osttirol in Austria, became famous for his climbing and mountaineering skills. This documentary is not only about his achievements, it is also about a pious man and his journey to and across the Holy land following Jesus’ Passion. This journey leads through the desert of Jordan and ends in Wadi Rum where Holzer tries to climb dangerous ridges.
