Synopsis:
An epic climb. On July 31, 1954, the Italian expedition of mountaineers and climbers reached the summit of K2. The celebration of the 70th anniversary of the feat is told through 10 interviews with great mountaineers. Walter Bonatti, interviewed by Bonolis for ‘The Meaning of Life’ on Canale 5, recalls the feat and the near tragedy of being abandoned at night at over 8,000 meters. A story of triumph, challenge, and the indomitable human spirit that pushes us to overcome all limits.
