Touching the Void

UK 2003 | 106 minutes | English | Hebrew subtitles

1985. Simon Yates and Joe Simpson are young mountain climbers. With boundless nonchalance, the two decide to tackle Peru's Siula Grande, a peak where few have tread. The way up goes smoothly, but on the way down Simpson breaks a leg. Now his friend must decide, stay and die along with his friend, or cut the rope and at least save his own life. A feature documentary woven from interviews with the two climbers (yes, they both survive), and dramatic reconstructions of their adventure. The result is a thrilling, sweeping and entertaining film.
