Movie description
On May 9, 1956, for the first time, the man stepped on the 8163-meter-high Manaslu, the eighth highest mountain in the world. In the fifty years of a long series of tragedies and triumphs in the mountain, two Slovenians were among the featured protagonists. On April 24, 1983, two climbers from Yugoslavia, trying to climb Manaslu from the south face, were buried under an avalanche. One of them was Nejc Zaplotnik, one of the most notable Slovenian climbers.
