This beautifully produced travel/adventure documentary features stunning photography as it follows several mountain climbers as they attempt to summit Weisshorn, one of the highest peaks in the Swiss Alps. Witness how their struggles and triumphs become powerful metaphors for their faith journeys. Spiritual seekers will be challenged and inspired by the life lessons. The fantastic pictures and the music fascinate and express what many people experience in nature: amazement, respect, awe, gratitude, peace, passion...

In the winter of 1986, André Georges crossed all of Zermatt's four thousands with the famous extreme mountaineer Erhard Loretan within three weeks. The documentary remembers the feat following two teams who climb these summits separately and in different stages. A rope team is formed by André Georges and Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner. The other consists of Simon Anthamatten and Felicitas Feller. The alpinists talk about their passion for mountains and about how alpine danger and rescue symbolize life itself. Breathtaking pictures and personal statements have you guess a dimension beyond human destiny.
