Chasing the Breath

Chasing the Breath is a documentary film about unwavering determination and the relentless pursuit of dreams, no matter how absurdly difficult they may seem. The story follows Robert Celiński, a passionate runner who aspires to become the first foreigner ever to win the Tenzing Hillary Everest Marathon, the highest-altitude marathn in the world. The film captures Robert’s grueling training and mental preparation in Nepal as he embarks on his fourth attempt to conquer this extreme challenge. Through raw and intimate storytelling, we experience his struggles, triumphs, and moments of doubt, immersing ourselves in his journey of physical endurance and psychological resilience. Set against the breathtaking yet unforgiving backdrop of the Himalayas, Chasing the Breath takes us beyond the race itself, offering a deeply personal insight into the sacrifices, discipline, and sheer willpower required to turn an impossible dream into reality. As Robert pushes himself beyond his limits, the question remains—will this be the time he finally claims victory? Winner - International Festival of Outdoor Films 2018.
