Jim Morrison and Hilaree Nelson fell in love while reaching the heights of their sport, bound together by a shared obsession: to become the first to climb and ski Everest's direct North Face, a route only a handful have ever reached and no one has skied down. Directors Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi — close friends of both subjects — were there when Nelson was killed in an avalanche during the expedition, transforming the film from an adventure story into something far more searching. In the wake of tragedy, Morrison, no stranger to loss, makes a deliberate choice to go back and finish what they started together. The film is about love, grief, and the impossible weight of honoring someone by doing the thing that took them. Seven years in the making, it captures Everest's north face as it has never been filmed before.
