The children of acclaimed alpinists – who died on K2, in Karakorum Mountains – undertake an expedition to answer universal question: what is the price of passion. In the summer of 1986, several dozen alpinists from all over the world met to climb K2, second highest mountain on the planet. Very soon, the journey transforms into a series of tragic events called “black summer”, leaving 13 climbers dead. Almost 30 years later an international group of grown-up children of those acclaimed climbers, sets out on an expedition to reach K2 base camp, symbolic burial place for those who lost their lives on the mountain.
