The film is based on real-life events. In 2013, a Polish group of mountaineers – Maciej Berbeka, Tomasz Kowalski, Artur Małek and Adam Bielecki reached the top of the second highest mountain in Karakoram. Broad Peak is the tale of a beautiful but destructive passion and the incredible determination that pushes a man towards a dangerous edge. It is also a moving story of the great but difficult love that brought Maciek Berbeka together with his wife Ewa. To faithfully convey the realities of the expedition and bring the audience closer to the power of the highest mountains in the world, a team of filmmakers prepared themselves for almost a year for the Karakoram expedition. The shots were taken at the base of K2 and at Broad Peak at over 5,000 meters above sea level.
