Buntaro Mori doesn't care about making friends or fitting in; he just wants to disappear into the silence. When a reckless bet pushes him to scale the side of his high school, he discovers a terrifying clarity that only exists at the edge of death. This is not your typical sports story—it is a haunting descent into the psychology of a man who finds more life in the frozen peaks of the Alps than in the warmth of human connection. The higher he climbs, the more the world below fades away, leaving him to face the brutal reality that at the top of the mountain, there is no one to catch you when you fall. Witness a visceral masterpiece that captures the agonizing beauty of obsession and the crushing weight of total solitude.
