Synopsis: This film shows serious moral problems in the society which become visible in an extreme situation, when happiness, trust, sense of life are so precious. A team of climbers are preparing for their new mountain # climbing expedition. They are brought together by their mutual love for this dangerous sport, for its challenges. They, however, differ in tempers, in problems and notions of honor and dignity. Already up in the mountain, they are expected to pull themselves together to the full, in order to succumb to the will of the leader and forget about the tensions, accumulated among the members of the team. The team fall victim to an avalanche maybe because they do not abide by the above said rules. A few survive and it is then that they rethink what friendship and responsibility mean and how valuable life is.
