Экранизация одноименного японского романа-бестселлера, посвященная истории самого первого удачного покорения смертельно опасного Эвереста, совершенного Ирвингом и Мэллори, чье первенство так и осталось недоказанным, так как оба альпиниста пропали без вести. Но вот, уже в 21 веке профессиональный фотограф-альпинист выходит на след камеры Мэллори, которая может стать сенсационной находкой столетия, полностью изменив представления об истории покорения Эвереста. Как бы то ни было, камера оказывается в руках шерпа Гадюки, который поразительно похож на одного из лучших альпинистов Японии, до того считавшимся погибшим во время восхождения на самый трудный склон Эвереста во время жесточайшей зимней бури.

Letter from the Mountain
