There are fourteen. Fourteen 8,000-m peaks. The Himalayan giants, a world where the air is so thin no human can survive for more than a few hours. Having already scaled thirteen of the Earth’s highest mountains, Sophie Lavaud is just one peak away from the Himalayan grand slam. Will she achieve her goal?
The film immerses us in the peculiar world of high-altitude mountaineering, where climbers must tread the fine line between boldness and self-preservation.
"Sophie Lavaud – The Final Summit" is the gripping tale of Sophie’s final challenge, a 40-day expedition peppered with setbacks. It is also a spectacular human adventure and an intimate portrait of disarming candour.
