The Matterhorn has killed more than 600 climbers since its first ascent in 1865, and this film asks why the toll keeps climbing despite huts, rescue teams, and decades of warnings. Mountain guide and rescue chief Anjan Truffer leads the crew up to the Solvay Bivouac, one of the peak's high-altitude shelters, explaining how quickly weather and fatigue turn a routine climb fatal. Edith Lehner, warden of the Hörnli Hut, talks about living beside a mountain that regularly kills the people she has just fed and housed. Climber Meli Rüfenacht, who watched someone fall to their death the previous year, returns to attempt her own ascent, and the film follows her preparation and the fear she carries onto the rock. Interviews with families of the dead and with rescuers who repeatedly recover bodies push the film past technique and equipment into the psychological cost of the mountain. It also raises how social media pushes underprepared climbers toward an ascent that has never gotten safer.
