In May 2000, four Canadians set off on an expedition to climb the perilous north side of Mount Everest without the use of oxygen or Sherpas. The majestic Himalayas form the backdrop for this documentary as the four try to conquer the mythical top of the world. The group's ordeal gives us a rare insight into the human condition under stress, as they remained immobilized on the edge of the mountain by extreme weather conditions. We share the emotions and tensions that undermined the group's solidarity, threatening the dream of attaining the summit itself.
