Background & Inspiration
Through a blend of archival footage and cinematic recreations, the film captures how one man’s quiet determination reflects a larger commitment to cultural memory and national identity. More than the restoration of a building, this is a story of holding onto one’s inner Everest—the dream, the purpose, and the unshakable belief in something greater than oneself.
