Makoto Fukamachi, portrayed by Junichi Okada, is a Japanese photographer who stumbles upon an antique camera in a Nepalese alleyway. This discovery could potentially unravel the enigma of whether George Mallory was the first to conquer Mount Everest on June 8, 1924. As Fukamachi delves into the camera’s history, he encounters the renowned mountaineer Joji Habu, played by Hiroshi Abe. Habu is a solitary figure, distanced from others due to his impulsive and inconsiderate nature.
