THE OTHER SIDE OF EVEREST (2019)

Short fiction


Writing, directing & post-production


An old lady who lives near us always tells me she is the princess trapped in the tower. She can hardly walk, lives on the fourth floor.
One day the elevator breaks down. As she walks up the stairs, we hear interviews with climbers from a documentary. My intention was to show the relativity of a problem or challenge: what is routine for one person is a glacier climb for another.
