Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia Though technically based on the true story of Nadir Dendoune, this is only in a very loose sense. Indeed, the main character's name, age, ethnicity, relations and entire motivation for wanting to climb to the top of Mount Everest were changed for the film. In fact, writer/director Ludovic Bernard never read the book which the film purports to adapt. See more »

Quotes [repeated line]
Kévin: That's insane!
Saïd: Is that all you can say? Learn some vocabulary, bro! Have you ever even opened a book before? Your PlayStation manual doesn't count!
