K2 My Way
A documentary about the first Czech climber Klára Kolouchová, who reached the top of K2. A film about the human need to overcome obstacles, the limits of one's own comfort, the need for higher goals that most people do not understand, about trying to discover what is behind the passion to overcome oneself, but mainly about how difficult it is to balance the position of woman - mother - climber , who is often forced to explain and defend before others her need to flee to the solitude of the mountains, much more than if she were a man. Can a woman today really freely try to achieve something great, while not behaving selfishly towards her surroundings and family?
