Title: Starry night
Description: In a dramatic climbing accident, Isabel survives a 1100-foot fall off Ala Izquierda. Severely injured, she is fully conscious of the fact that a broken foot in the icy solitude of the Bolivian Andes implies a death sentence. Stalked by hypothermia, hallucinations, and despair, she nonetheless places her bet on life and spends two interminable days and nights dragging herself over the ice to seek help. More than a story based on real life experiences, Starry Night is a celebration of life, a tale of great losses but also a tale of beauty, passion, love, and dreams. It tells the protagonist's struggle for her life and the painful experience that will teach her to walk once again through the magic realm of high altitude. However, after her terrible injury, she needs to find a new way to inscribe her steps.
