Western, High, and Belianske Tatras. They are connected by gorgeous, logical and long ridge line formed by more than 130 peaks and towers. To traverse entire ridge alpine style, unsupported, in one single push, was always a big challenge. And still is. Two friends experienced a big adventure climbing this ridge. It is a story about courage and fear, strong will and despair, endurance and pain. It is a story about friendship.

He likes to look for stories the heroes of which go beyond their limits. He is fascinated by encounters with different cultures and he is mostly attracted by the territories of Tibetan Buddhism, as well as the lands of natural people hidden deep in the jungle. His films present the manner in which man should treat the Earth. They emit love and respect for nature, enormous mental power and moral conscience.
