    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      In the scene where Habu is with his friends at the bar, characters drawn in the likeness of Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki can be seen in the background.
    • Goofs
      When Habu reaches the summit of Everest and looks out over the landscape in front of him, several of the adjacent mountains at the start of the pan appear to be at the same height as him. None of the other mountains around Everest come close to its height (the closest is about 400 metres lower), so none of them would go above the horizon line.
    • Quotes
      • Présentateur (voix témoin): Why ever climb higher? Be the first? Why risk death? Why do something so futile? I know why now. There doesn't need to be a reason. For some, the mountains aren't a goal, but a path. And the summit, a step. Once there, all that's left is to keep going.
