            Favourite and most disliked scene:

            My favourite moment was when they succeeded in climbing all the 14 Peaks in 7

            months ad 6 days. Another favourite scene for me was when they returned home
            from their big project after the great acheivement. It was a proud moment to see
            Nim’s  mom  joining  them  at  the  base  camp  in  an  helicopter  to  celebrate  their

            success after climbing all the 14 Peaks. My most disliked scene was when Nims's
            mother sadly passed away and also when one of the climbers died due to lack of

            oxygen ebven though Nims tried his best to save him.



            Summary:
            Nirmal “Nims” Purja embarks on a seemingly-impossible quest to summit all 14 of

            the world's 8,000-meter peaks in seven months. The movie is a documentary of his

            enthralling mission of scaling all 14 peaks, that are all over 8,000 metres, in just
            seven months during the spring season. However, due to his strong-willed nature
            and his amazing team, this project, Project Possible, was done in 6 months and 6

            days,  breaking  world  records  from  around  the  globe  and  proving  those  people

            wrong who thought this Project was just impossible.
