Synopsis

This documentary helms the story featuring Marc-André Leclerc, a leading alpinist from Canada who was famous for doing solo ascents throughout his lifetime. He traveled around the world in a kind of philosophical and spiritual pursuit of the sport, though he evaded being put in the spotlight, as his friends attest. The film follows two years of his journey before his untimely death at the age of 25 during an Alaskan trip.
