DESCRIPTION

A young man dies during the expedition to Kangchenjunga. His companion, Wanda, explains how it happened at a press conference. One of the participants of the funeral, a director specialized in documentaries, suggests to Wanda to return to Kangchenjunga to recover the body of the climber. The expedition, which is going to be filmed, is joined by the girlfriend of the young man, Anna, and her father George, a friend of Wanda. All four must confront not only the desolate nature, but also their own burdensome past. The play, inspired among others by a biography of Wanda Rutkiewicz, made it to the finals of the Gdynia Drama Awards in 2014.
