- EXTENDED SYNOPSIS
En la cara sur del Annapurna, a 7.400 metros de altura, un escalador empieza a sentirse mal. Su compañero da la alarma y da comienzo uno de los mayores intentos de rescate en la historia de la cordillera del Himalaya. El pico del Annapurna estáconsiderado como uno de los más peligrosos del mundo. El 41% de los que intentan llegar a su cima mueren en el intento. Rescates por encima de 7.400 metros son por lo general imposibles, porque los helicópteros no pueden volar a tanta altura, ymuypocas personas son capaces de soportar esa altitud. Esta película es una reconstrucción detallada de una operación de rescate de cuatro días que involucró a algunos de los mejores alpinistas del mundo, cada uno con una personalidad muyinteresante.
On the south face of Annapurna, at a height of 7,400 metres, a climber starts to feel poorly. His companion raises the alarm and launches one of the greatest rescue attempts in the history of the Himalaya mountain range. The Annapurna summit isconsidered to be one of the most dangerous in the world. Around 41% of those who try to climb it die in the attempt. Rescues above 7,400 metres are generally impossible, because helicopters are unable to fly at such a height, and very few peopleareable to support the altitude. This film is a detailed reconstruction of a rescue operation lasting for four days that involved some of the best mountain climbers in the world, each with a very interesting personality.
