THE WALL OF SHADOWS

POLISH TITLE: ŚCIANA CIENI

Will your Gods forgive you the sins committed out of love to your child? Sherpa family breaks a taboo and takes part in the Himalayan expedition to Kumbhakarna – one of the most holy of mountains, to earn money for their son’s school and save him from a dangerous and degrading work as a porter. The east face of the mountain (7710 m) is one of the most difficult challenges in alpinism today. The leading alpinists take part in the expedition. The holy mountain confronts both the climbers and Sherpas with equal harshness.
