The Last Expedition

(Ostatnia wyprawa)

Film director and mountaineer Eliza Kubarska has created a multi-layered portrait of Wanda – a strong, determined woman who broke into the then male-dominated world of high-altitude expeditions.

The narrative is built around Wanda’s audio diary, which includes topics such as the nature of interpersonal relationships, freedom, independence and the meaning of life. The film also includes interviews with nuns from Nepalese orders as well as with big names from the mountaineering community, such as Reinhold Messner, Krzysztof Wielicki and Carlos Carsolie.
