There are no actual ghosts in Must Alpinist (English title: Ghost Mountaineer, 2015) but all of the main protagonists – a six member team of college students – face imminent danger and possible death in the treacherous landscapes and freezing weather of the Buryatian mountains in Siberia. Based on a real incident experienced by the film’s director, Urmas E. Liiv, in 1989, this is one of the rare feature films made in Estonia by a native filmmaker and it turns out to be an unusual hybrid of various genres.
