Tourists line up at the foot of Mount Everest to climb the mythological mountain – and to tell everyone else about the feat. For the same reason, Mount Everest has become a graveyard full of the frozen corpses of fallen mountaineers. But the story of the world’s highest mountain also has another, overlooked side: the local one. For around the huge mountain between Nepal and Tibet lives a local population with their own worldview, which is very different from the one Western tourists arrive with. A world of mountain gods that demands respect for nature. To appease the angry mountain gods, the famous Nepalese mountaineer and national hero, Mingma Tsiri Sherpa, risks everything to return to Mount Everest one last time to retrieve a body and appease the sacred mountain.
