The film describes both the talents of Aleksandra and the emotional and mental side that underly a project of such ambition. Through the awe inspiring landscapes of Gorropu and other stunning Sarda landscapes, the film illustrates how Aleksandra has made climbing one of her raison dâêtre and how with perseverance and self belief a seemingly unattainable goal can become a stepping stone towards understanding oneself.
