Autumn. In the Adyl-Su alpine camp painstaking work has been carried out for many years to preserve the traditions of Soviet mountaineering, once the best in the world. Every season dozens of well-trained and trained groups go to the mountains along the most difficult routes. Communication with one of them suddenly disappears. A day later the group returns. The ascent to Elbrus ended in failure due to a hurricane that began in the mountains, but a guy and a girl, despite the closing of the season and difficult meteorological conditions, want to repeat the ascent. They have only a few days to prepare.
