This movie had a great concept in the story line. The acting was good and scenery superb. The interaction between young and old quite well done. In some ways it reminded me of the film Wild. There it was a young person finding themselves in the outdoors here it is an old person finding themselves and re-living long lost dreams of a mountain walk.
However for me it went off the boil by a credibility gap in the story line and improbable, but avoidable, scenarios. Yes sure a trained guide would let an old lady from the city with no walking experience walk into the highlands for an overnight camp on her own!! However despite the improbable script at times the scenery alone makes it worth seeing. If your over 70 it offers a dream that you too can climb Everest, if you can just sneak out of the aged care home when no one is watching.
