L’ascension

Summary of the free screening

Samy, a young man living in the Parisian suburbs, has never set foot in the mountains. Out of love, and to impress Nadia, he makes her a crazy promise: to climb Everest. With no mountaineering experience and unwavering determination, he embarks on a challenge as absurd as it is inspiring.

Inspired by a true story, The Climb is a film that is funny, touching, and full of humanity. It celebrates pushing one’s limits, the power of commitment, and this incredible human adventure that connects the most disparate worlds—from the city to the Himalayas.
