Facing The Limit
Narrative Synopsis
For Tamara Lunger, freedom means pushing herself beyond her limits, daring the impossible, and deeply knowing her true self. The South Tyrolean mountaineer was the youngest woman to climb Lhotse (8,516 meters) and the second Italian to reach the summit of K2. However, failure is not unfamiliar to her, a subject that could have changed her life. Markus Frings and Nora Ganthaler recount the ups and downs of this extraordinary woman's life, accompanying her and her mentor Simone Moro on winter expeditions to Nanga Parbat and the 8,596-meter peak of Kangchenjunga.
