Must Alpinist
Ghost Mountaineer
Trailer
In 1989, on the brink of the collapse of the Soviet Union, a group of Estonian students sets off on an expedition to the wintery Siberian Mountains in the search of the jade gemstone and adventure. The trip, that starts so lightheartedly, soon takes a turn for the worst. The group's differing backgrounds, motives and the resulting power struggle bring tension, disagreements within and eventually the loss of their leader...
What happens next seems to be an overpowering challenge for the group, already exhausted and distraught, and now faced not only with the forces of nature, but also the mystical Buryatian mights and ghosts as well as the excessive regional bureaucratic powers and their own inner monsters.
Based on real-life events, the debut feature of director Urmas Eero Liiv takes the spectator to a suspenseful world of horror, thrill and mystery. GS
