Am Limit
Two brothers, one goal and just 180 minutes to reach it. Award winning filmmaker Pepe Danquart accompanies brothers Alexander and Thomas Huber on their attempt to break a speed climbing record. Together with his team he faced many technical challenges to capture their attempt to climb up the 1000-metre high towering rock face of ‘El Capitán’ in Yosemite National Park in the United States. A breathtaking spectacle, the film also explores what drives the brothers to constantly test their own limits and how they cope with the dangers involved.
