Plot:

There was a man from Chitwan, Nepal and his name was Nirmal Purja(Nims). He was
in the British army for 14 years. He was doing very well in the army. However, Nims

also wanted to try something daring and brave, so he wanted to leave the army and
climb all the mountains that were above 8-thousand meters, also known as 8-

thousanders, but his brother did not agree to this because Nims's mother was ill and
that his salary was the only source that paid all her expensive medications. Nims was

highly pressured as he was also the only worker in his family, but he quit from the
army. He and his brother had a huge argument after this.

Nims actually didn't have any plans to climb all the 14 Peaks but in 2017 after he

climbed Mount Everest, he wanted to climb all the 8-thousanders. He wanted to prove
himself and make others believe in themselves to do something inspirational. He

looked for sponsors everywhere, but nobody helped as they all thought that his

Project was impossible and a crazy mission. That’s why he had to give away his house
to accomplish his dreams. He named his project ‘Project Possible’, he named it so,

because he was determined to prove to others that this Project was possible, not
impossible. He wanted to break the record of climbing all the 8-thousanders in the

shortest time. The fastest record was 7 years and he wanted to do it in 7 months! This
story is about his journey of climbing the 14 Peaks.

Message of the Movie:

The main message of the movie is “Nothing is Impossible”. This movie inspires
people to follow their dreams no matter what and also to never give up in the difficult

circumstances. You shouldn't look for others' opinions o what you desperately want to
achieve. Don’t let others spoil your dreams.
