In our modern world, we are overwhelmed by visual stimuli from phones, laptops and other screens, all vying for our precious time and attention. How does our viewing behaviour shape us?

Where do you find the essence of your existence? On the peaks of the highest mountains in the world? Even higher, on an uninhabited planet from which you can never escape? Or is it in the deepest sorrow, by leaving a trail of destruction that will never be forgotten? This documentary essay follows various people on their quest and inevitably leads to the question: how far do you want to go?
