Iván Vallejo, the first Ecuadorian to conquer Everest (in 1999), decides to make a film commemorating his journey and invites Sebastián Cordero, an Ecuadorian filmmaker who premiered his debut feature in Venice the same year Iván achieved his feat. Together, they embark on a journey to Nepal where they realize they share many life coincidences but have opposing views on how to envision the documentary. Conversations about mountains and cinema will lead to an exchange of philosophical reflections. As the days pass, the increase in altitude and decrease in oxygen will elevate the debate to transcendental inner territories, challenging both their trajectories and personal significance in the face of the mountain's ancient magnitude and depth.
