SYNOPSIS The film features 21-year-old Anže Marenče, the brother of the author, who embarked with four of his friends on his first mountain expedition. They climbed a new route in the maiden south face of the Gorkiy Peak (6050 m) in the Celestial Mountains, or Tien Shan, the mountain range in the border region of China, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. They then ascended the Khan Tengri, or Lord of the Spirits (7010 m), via the normal route. Why We Would Need All That? is a simple story about an expedition and Anže’s contemplation on the mountain climbing. Throughout the film Anže reveals his love of climbing and attempts at answering the question which he has raised at the beginning, and is inherent in the title.
