Some films can lead to a lot of thinking, this is a documentary about the miracle survival of mountaineering victims.

Struggling on the edge of life and death, people have no dignity at all.

The severe pain of a broken leg, frostbite and dehydration, the boundless darkness, boundless loneliness and fear, the freezing cold to the bone, this is what is called purgatory. Distressed climbers use their survival instincts to miraculously survive. It is an unreal experience and a tragic experience that cannot be understood. During the few days he was walking on the edge of hell, what would it be like to see the beautiful starry sky at night...

The feeling of struggling back to the camp and being picked up by his companions will be unforgettable in his life.

Grandma's pain, paralysis, squamous cell carcinoma, is not this feeling... Maybe all I can do is hug and comfort, this purgatory experience, the existence of despair, at the end of life, is so unfair.. In

the end, the survival needs, water and nutrition, become extremely precious, and the limbs that can move normally are invaluable.

We, for what reason, do not cherish our own bodies. The most precious skin, how to use it well, exercise well.... to experience the beauty of the world and the shock of nature.
