The true story of Wanda Rutkiewicz, the first woman to climb the highest peaks. Breaking into the male-dominated world, she paid a heavy price. The filmmaker sets off to the Himalayas in her footsteps. The clue to the search is Wanda’s audio diary. Having vanished thirty years ago, rumours place her in a Buddhist monastery. The film, featuring climbers Reinhold Messner, Krzysztof Wielicki and Carlos Carsolio, along with her sister Janina Fies and manager Marion Feik, explores Wanda's life and mystery.
