Maria Granberg lives to conquer the world's highest mountains. It's her way of trying to understand herself better and evolve as a person. It's also a means of coping with the darkness that comes and goes in life. In September 2022, she is set to climb the 8163-meter high Manaslu in Nepal without oxygen. When the expedition, after several weeks, is on the verge of reaching the summit, the unthinkable happens, and reality leaves her with only one conceivable way out. BRAVE – How The Mountains Saved My Life is a short documentary that is about confronting one's vulnerability to find the courage to truly live.
