This alpine story is an intimate display of an unusual journey and adventure of the first Serbian mountaineer who climbed Mount Everest, screened at Hot Docs and awarded with a Special Mention at Visions du Réel.

Cassettes that had been collecting dust for 17 years now reveal extraordinary film material. Vintage footage of alien landscapes and mystical mental states, shot by the first Serbian man to climb Mount Everest, Dragan Jaćimović, is woven together with puzzling excerpts from his diary, comprising an experimental meditation on a journey to eternal glory and then back to the banality of everyday life.
