OVERVIEW
Bikers Tomáš Zejda and Ondra Novák are setting out on an extraordinary expedition with the goal of conquering Nepal's Mera Peak (6,461 m above sea level) – the highest point ever conquered by bicycle. This crazy idea, which would earn them a place in the Guinness Book of Records, is gradually taking shape, and preparations for the demanding descent are intensifying. Paradoxically, however, the biggest obstacles await the two adventurers during the ascent itself. This unique documentary records not only their physical and mental exertion, but also the testimonies of other cyclists and family members.
