A film reminiscence about Piotr Morawski, a conqueror of six eight-thousanders and a participant of the first in history winter expedition to Shishapangma who died in the Himalayas, at the slope of Dhaulagiri, on 8 April 2009. His story is reported by the mountaineer’s wife, Olga, full of both grief and respect for her husband’s passion. The meetings with Olga Morawska, edited in the film, occurred over a period of a few months following her husband’s death. The first one was just a month after the accident.
