A group of IT students is fulfilling their long-held dream of climbing the highest mountain in the Carpathians and seeing the White Elephant. The start time of their ascent is 5:00 am, February 24, 2022. The first three days of the war change their characters forever. The mountains do not tolerate falsity and self-deception and expose them to a new reality, especially when it becomes clear that they can descend the mountain illegally to Romania.
