O FILMIE Międzynarodowy team wspinaczy, biologów i ekologów jedzie na niekonwencjonalną wyprawę do jednego z najmniej poznanych i najbardziej zagrożonych ekologicznie rejonów świata - na Mount Namuli w Mozambiku. Film podąża za nimi podczas wyczerpującej eksploracji 600-metrowej granitowej ściany Namuli, który jest drugim co do wysokości szczytem w kraju. Leaderem wyprawy jest Majka Burhardt - zawodowy wspinacz, pisarka i działaczka społeczna, a towarzyszą jej Kate Rutheford, entomolodzy Flavia Esteves z Brazylii i Caswell Munyai z RPA oraz herpetolog Harith Farooq i ekolog Geraldo Palalane z Mozambiku.
