This is truly a beautiful film to watch because of the stunning landscapes, but i really missed a storyline. Sophie is a woman who can't deal with the normal life she has, so the hike seems like an escape for her. She wants to do everything alone but is very unprepared and doesn't plan ahead. She discovers she needs people during the hike, I guess. But what does she do when she finishes the hike? Does she go home or somewhere else? Even if the movie would show this, there still would be something missing in my opinion. It is just a lot of hiking. I follow YouTubers who walked the same route and their vlogs had more of a storyline than this film. I still give it a 6/10 because the scenery and images are beautiful.

No screenplay, bad actress.

Nor the actress, nor the storyteller seem to have ever hiked anything.

The amount of big mistakes that the character does will make you do exactly the opposite than the (pretended) phrase of the film: "the film that will take you on the trail". Hahaha! As you see her suffering because of her bad planning and ill execution, you will think that hiking is not good.

She runs out of gas, out of food, out of batterries .... where is your brain lady?

She turns on the gas stove on top of the bed (when she has a beautiful table near) ... are you planning to burn the hut?

She listens a noise in the night adn runs away from the hut? Really?

I think this movie is disrespectful for people that take hiking seriously, and enjoy life in the outdoors.

She notices that the battery pack is not there and leaves her pack in the middle of the night? Really??

And so forth ....

Having you as the viewer create the story for themselves does not turn a film into an art piece.

In the first 5 to 10 mins you are given the overall plot. Then the rest is left to you the viewer to fill in. Leaving the poor actress to carry the rest of the film and flesh out more of the story and character, which is impossible because there is no story arch or character development to speak of.

Imagine going to a restaurant, the chef giving you the ingredients and then asking you if you liked your meal at the end of the evening.

For those who are avid hikers and enjoy beautiful scenery then this is for you, however if you want a story then don't waste your time.

"I know it was probably done intentionally this way to allow you to accompany the protagonist on her solo journey through these magnificent landscapes... and thus, the sound of water, the wind, the storm, the eternal silences. The very long scenes (so long!! Like the one in the dark while she's searching for the power bank) without a single word. In my personal opinion, I believe the movie would have benefited from having a soundtrack (even with well-known songs and paying for the rights, I don't mean hiring a composer), especially in the scenes of eternal silence and particularly in the scenes where Sophie is hiking in these landscapes...

The film struggles a bit and becomes somewhat boring in many scenes.

On the other hand, it's a very human film, portraying mistakes (many basic hiking preparation and experience mistakes, as mentioned by someone), and conveying emotions without saying them.

Too bad! Rating: 5/10!
