In 1972, a small expedition led by Wolfgang Nairz embarked on a journey to the challenging south face of Manaslu (8163 m). Not all of them returned. 50 years later, the survivors โ Wolfgang Nairz, Oswald รlz, Hansjรถrg Hochfilzer, Horst Fankhauser and Reinhold Messner โ meet to recall the tragic events. They talk about their fears, mourning for their lost friends Andi Schlick and Franz Jรคger, and the responsibility that comes with mountaineering. Reinhold Messner himself directed this film.
