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.

Totally worth my time

I loved it. Such a simple and refreshing movie with amazing sceneries. The comedy is good and the acting isn't bad.
