After Reading Question 9
Wrie a short summary for a cinema guide explaining what the film is about and encouraging people to go and see it.

This is a true story about two men who climbed one of the most difficult and dangerous mountains in the world. Joe and Simon were good friend and they had done a lot of climbing together.They were a good team, they know everything that other's thinking. One day, they challenged Cordillera Huayhuash mountain range, a group of mountains in the Andes in Peru.
Could they stand at the summit? They met a lot of problems!How did they do?What did they judge?It would change their fate. In the film, there are beautiful view of mountains in the Andes. This is a first time, the camera had entered in the Andes. Thrill, friendship, hard work of climber and surprise.At last, could they survive?Result is in the film. Go to the cinema soon.
