Documentary film that tells the exceptional feat of Lucie Retail, a quadri-amputee woman who reached the summit of Mount Fuji in July 2025.
The director followed Lucie and his coach Claudio Alessi for a year in their careful preparation, both physical and mental.
Lucie, despite strong constraints and apparent physical limitations, has overcome the obstacles to achieve its non-standard target set at 3776 meters above sea level, on July 4, 2025.
Accompanied on the ground by Claudio Alessi, co-founder of the association No Difference, she became in 2025 the first quadri-amputee person to reach the summit of Mount Fuji.
“I don’t go up to a mountain
to prove something.
I go upstairs to understand what I am.
And what I can still become.”
