"When I waked, I cried to dream again" - William Shakespear, The Tempest.

‍
The 8000s are the fourteen legendary mountains going above 8000m. At that altitude, oxygene is so low it dramatically reduces your physical and mental abilities. This makes them one of the world’s most difficult summits to access and they arecoveted by climbers in search of big challenges.

In her quest of the Fourteens, Adriana Brownlee faces Gasherbrum I and Gasherbrum II, her 10th and 11th 8000s and her two last peaks in Pakistan. With the idea of evolving her climbing journey, she challenges herself tohave a minimum of assistance and to avoid using oxygen. Together with her climbing partner Gelje (Geljen Sherpa), they lean towards a more alpinestyle and give another dimension and difficulties to their practice.

This journey not only brings her incredible encounters, powerful emotions and painful moments, but it also opens her eyes on the 8000 industry. After dreaming for years and reaching 10 legendary summits, she realizes this race for the performance is not what she was dreaming of when she was 8 years old.This movie is about a girl’s dream coming true, and a woman who wantsto go back to her childhood’s practice, and dream again.
