Description

"This film is a life lesson and prime example of the spirit of achievement." - Alfonso Rivera, Cineuropa


Five indigenous Bolivian women take us on a visually stunning and emotionally stirring journey through their unique expedition. These women share one dream: to prove to the world and themselves that they can climb the highest mountain in the Americas, Argentina’s Mount Aconcagua. These courageous women find in the Andes Mountains a space to feel free, happy and alive.
