Recap
Wanda Rutkiewicz disappeared 30 years ago, and her body was never found. Entering the male-dominated world of high-altitude mountaineering uninvited, she paid the highest price for it. The film’s director, herself a climber, sets off for the Himalayas in search of Wanda, the first woman to climb the world's highest peaks.
