The inconvenient truth, the suppressed facts - 40 years later

1984. In the shadow of the Iron Curtain, a nation dares to challenge the gods. On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the socialist revolution, Bulgaria faces its best mountaineers in the greatest test on the planet - the deadly Mount Chomolungma, also known as Everest. But this is not just a climb.
