The Ants & The Grasshopper
How do you change someone's mind about the most important thing in the world?

When a Sherpa family is asked by a group of westerners to lead a trek up the never-conquered east wall of the imposing Kumbhakarna Mountain in Nepal, they’re confronted with a dilemma.


Not only is the summit reputed to be more challenging than Mount Everest, according to the local Kirant religion, it’s also a sacred mountain that is not supposed to be ascended.


While the father in this story wants to work and earn the money necessary for his son’s education, the mother - a fierce woman who supports her son’s dream of becoming a doctor - is adamant that they shouldn’t trek upon God’s body.


Director Eliza Kubarska follows and films the expedition troop. Herself an experienced alpinist, Kubarska captures breathtaking images of the majestic landscape, honouring the spiritual dimension of the environment.
