Mountain Sisters

Five Peruvian women set out to make history on the summit of Manaslu as the first all-female expedition from their country. But the mountain has a different challenge in store. Isolated and pushed to the edge of their endurance, their quest for the summit turns into a deeper, more personal battle. The mountain teaches them about the sisterhood that binds them, putting the true meaning of their expedition to the test.

Recently honored with a Special Mention at Inkafest, this film goes far beyond the adrenaline of a summit quest. It invites the viewer into an intimate journey where five Peruvian women confront not only the vastness of Manaslu, but also their own fears and limits. It becomes an emotionally transformative experience that breaks gender stereotypes and reminds us that sometimes the most heroic act isn’t planting a flag at the top, but finding the courage to return home safe, whole, and stronger than ever.
