SCREENINGS
Multiple world champion Adam Ondra has been climbing all his life. He started in early childhood, and continues to push the boundaries of human possibilities to this day. He says himself that he doesn't know who he’d be without climbing. He faces loneliness during his daily training on the rock, but he is not a chatty type and has no time for long conversations anyway. His biggest supporter is his wife Iva, who abandoned her climbing career so that she could support Adam. The documentary is a personal confession of the couple about the difficulties of professional sport, the demanding preparation for the Olympic Games in Tokyo, as well as the partners’ closeness and the challenges of family life.
