Rising 28,169 feet above the Earth's surface, Nepal's Kanchenjunga or "five treasures of snows" is the world's third-highest mountain and the object of destiny for the members of the Slovak expedition at the heart of this documentary. Weather, geography and legend all conspire against those who set out to conquer the five-peaked behemoth in this film that reveals many of the mountain's most spectacular vistas.
