OVERVIEW
Negar SamakNejad, a university lecturer and enthusiastic running coach, decides to become the first Iranian woman to climb Mount Damavand (5,609 m) from all four sides. The documentary follows her inspiring journey to fulfill her lifelong dream. Although she succeeds, her victory has a bitter taste—she is expelled from the university because she has become a prominent public figure and role model for thousands of Iranian women.
