Scream of Stone

“In this battle, there can be no winners”

A bet is made after an indoor climbing championship: the mountaineer Roger says Martin Sedlmayr (Stefan Glowacz), the world's best sport climber, wouldn't last a day on a real expedition. They set out for Cerro Torre in Patagonia, one of the hardest peaks anywhere, where the weather on the Argentinian and Chilean border is cruel. Werner Herzog shot much of it near the summit, and what grows between the two men on the ice matters more than who wins.
