Rock climber Maciek “Pastor” Kubera, 52, has a tragic fall while climbing, breaking his arm, his leg, his pelvis, his heel and four vertebrae. From his hospital bed, he vows to come back stronger than ever to tackle the toughest climb of his life – a super steep route called Andromeda on the Greek island of Kalimnos.

The film paints an intense portrait of a man of passion and dedication who imposes a draconian training regime on himself, with his life governed by the schedule in his training logbook. To his own surprise, he finds that his needs go far beyond physical strength – he is now limited by his psyche. Fear has taken over his climbing and he doesn’t know how to tame this previously unknown beast.

We travel with our man from psychotherapy rooms to climbing coaching sessions to friends and family reunions in the mountains of Spain, England, Greece and Poland. And even to the music studio, where he works on performing his own rap lyrics at a noisy concert.

Will it be enough to fulfil his great challenge and lifelong climbing dream? Will he emerge victorious from his vertical duel with the limestone and with himself? And what will he learn along the way about the crisis and about getting a second chance?
