Documentary. Marcin Koszałka returns to the forgotten genre of mountain films. The story focuses around Piotr "Mad" Korczak - a key figure in the Polish world of mountain climbing of the 1980s and 1990s. A moving tale about the inability to come to terms with one's old age, and about longing for immortality.
