In 1985, two ambitious young British mountaineers set off to scale the hitherto unclimbed West Face of Siula Grande, a treacherous peak in the Peruvian Andes. They reach the summit, but shortly after starting the descent an accident turns their daring expedition into a desperate fight for survival.

Kevin Macdonald’s genre-defying BAFTA-winner is a breathtaking ode to human endurance. Telling of a frantic attempt to conquer the Andean peak of Siula Grande, Touching the Void demolishes the line between documentary and horror with heart-stopping thrills and spectacular visual and sonic ingenuity.
