Together Free
Kristin and Valerie, two German girls who have been best friends for 10 years embark on a 28 day hiking trip through the Himalayas to explore the meaning of their friendship. For 10 years they shared a small apartment in Hamburg; but after this trip, Val will move to California. The two girls are now faced with the question of how and if their friendship can survive this separation. Along their journey through the Himalayas the girls film themselves as they climb 3 passes and 2 mountains, and visit Mount Everest Basecamp. With little experience hiking and no experience filmmaking, Kristin struggles from exhaustion and Val fights high altitude sickness. But they are able to push through and use this time in solitude to not only reflect on their own relationship but also question society's concept of friendship. At the end of their trip they have to decide: is their bond really as strong as the bond between two sisters and are they as committed to each other as they were if they were family?
