Lenin (7134m) is a mountain in Kyrgystan and the first challenge for alpinists who dream of climbing the highest points in the world. The documentary describes the first meeting with Lenin for a group of young climbers. In addition to the physical preparations, climbing such a high mountain needs nerves of steel. From a team of eight men in Jaan Künnap´s Alpinist Club, only three took up the journey. The film looks at the alpinists in close-up, even when the height has wrenched their bodies and confidence begins to slip.
