Everest, a documentary about the unsung heroes from Nepal, without their help and assistance, it is unthinkable to concur the summit of world's highest mountain, the almighty Mount Everest. Yet Sherpas are never on the news, nobody really knew about them and their contribution towards the expedition are easily forgotten.

This film shows the work, the hardship and the life of the Sherpas at the Mount Everest. With their eyes, we follow the expedition of the Swiss mountain guide Kari Kobler and his European climbers to the highest mountain in the world. For the first time, this film shows the stories of the Sherpas, their feelings and fears on the climb of Mount Everest. They tell us bluntly what it means for them to work for Western clients, to act as their ladders to the top of the world. We experience their successes but also a tragedy when the expedition loses a member. We see how the Sherpas risk their own lives to save one of their Western clients, and how they are affected by his death.
