Synopsis

Escape to the mountains

In the war-torn Donbas five teenagers dream of escape from the daily grind of life on the frontline, from having their ambitions thwarted by the armed conflict that blights the Luhansk region of eastern Ukraine. Andrii, Ruslan, Ilya, Liza, and Lera are offered a chance of adventure by 73-year-old Valentyn, Ukraine’s greatest alpinist. He wants them as apprentices for an expedition to the Himalayas as he seeks to leave a legacy.
