The life story of the famous Soviet climber and climber Yuri Lishaev. This is a film about freedom. The will of the person who forces to go forward. Forward and up. About freedom and the values of human life, the desire to be in harmony with the world, the ability to recognize the present. About the height you can climb. And about the fall, which will make a person think about the meaning of everything, and his true strength. About whether he will be able, without betraying his principles, to go his way to the end, no matter how difficult it may be.
