About the series
There are several eight-thousander mountains on our planet far more dangerous and difficult than Everest. The most impregnable of them is K2: 8,611 meters, the mountain of mountains. The film will tell why K2, and not Everest, is the cherished dream of mountaineers. How does altitude change people? The mountain of all mountains is the best place on Earth to test your altitude gene. For the first time in history, the largest Russian expedition is heading to K2, most of whose members are amateurs. Each of them has eight-thousanders behind them, and many have successfully climbed Everest. But that will seem like a walk in the park compared to K2.
