Three characters from the Slovak countryside set out on an eccentric Himalayan expedition to the summit of Imja Tse. The journey lays bare their mental worlds and brings back key, often traumatic events from their past that have shaped who they are. For all their originality they cannot break free of stereotypes, and in an international setting every move and every sentence they speak also says something about geopolitics, in an absurd tale of the vicious circle of aggression and violence in human history.
