Les faces nord sont la quintessence de l'alpinisme extrême. Cela s'applique en particulier aux faces nord de l'Eiger, du Cervin, des Grandes Jorasses, du Piz Badile, de la Großer Zinne et de l'Aiguille du Dru - elles incarnaient au XXe siècle les objectifs qu'un alpiniste devait avoir atteints pour faire partie de l'élite. Mais ces murs sont restés à ce jour des terrains de jeux extrêmes. Six documentaires montrent les grandes faces nord des Alpes sous un angle nouveau et surprenant. Des alpinistes de renommée mondiale tels que Robert Jasper, Ueli Steck, Hansjörg Auer, Alexander Huber et Steve House démontrent des compétences d'escalade au plus haut niveau avec des premières ascensions et des ascensions en solo. Des images spectaculaires des murs et des enregistrements Cineflex époustouflants en hélicoptère permettent au spectateur de prendre part à l'action de près.

The movie "Same Same But Different" follows the transformative journey of Barbara Zangerl: For many years, Barbara was known as one of the best female boulderers in the world, being one of the first females to climb the grade of 8b. At the age of 19, and at the top of her game, a serious back injury meant that Barbara's success in bouldering would come to a abrupt close. Too eager and determined to leave her beloved sport behind, Barbara began to master rope climbing. With a whole new outlook on climbing, Barbara is repeating some of the hardest alpine routes around, including "Hotel Supramonte 8b" (Sardinia multipitch classic), "Super Cirill 8a" (Alpine crackclimbing Tessin) and "End of Silence" (Thomas Huber's 1994 classic at Feuerhörndl-Northface) "Same Same But Different" goes beyond the action, exploring Barbara's outlook, her past and her passion for climbing.

A story of chopped fingers, fun, friendship and the First Ascent of Kunyang Chhish East (7,400m). Following the rules of true alpine style Hansjörg Auer, Matthias Auer and Simon Anthamatten embark on an adventure for the summit and for survival on Kunyang Chhish East.

Probably no one has explored solo climbing like Hansjörg Auer, whose memorable feat on the "fish route" has forever marked the history of this very peculiar kind of mountaineering. "The hardest thing to do when you're doing free solo," says Hansjörg, "is not the ascent. It is to go back home." Why? Because when loneliness strips you naked you understand the importance of the relationships you build with people around you. “No turning back” is an introspective and epic film, delicate and powerful: there is not only vertical life, there is not only performance. There is an all-round discovery of what makes a life worth living.
