With hundred kilos on their backs they are facing storms, blizzards and deep snow. Their craft is not only a profession, but also their way to the calmness. In the documentary Freedom under Load we get to know the oldest generation of the porters in the High Tatras, who climb with supplies to the mountain huts every day. We discover why they have chosen this way of life and why they remain the last of the Mohicans on the European continent. And maybe we find out something about our own load that we carry. (K2studio)

Carrying supplies to a mountain cottage as a lifestyle. The core of this documentary consists in the conflict of memories from the erstwhile real world “down below” with the current performance of the hardest possible work in the mountains. Seniors who will not give up what they are doing for anything as long as their bodies allow them to keep doing it, because it fulfils them more than, for example, playing in an orchestra at the most prestigious concert hall in the world. They have the wisdom the comes with knowledge and the possibility to compare, which few people get in life (due to which people are dissatisfied and often unhappy, even though they have no reason to be). Inner peace and harmony are the reward for all of their “wonderful toil”.

A remarkably interesting documentary about porters from the Tatranská Kotlina. The things they carry in an incredible mountain elevation I would not be able carry to the other side of my garden. I bow down before them. After watching this documentary, I got the urge to go to the Tatras.
