Extremes

S15, E6: Martin Gruber is at breaking point. In the fight for custody of her grandson, Thea Hochstetter stops the bottling plant for Gruber's milk and thus threatens the existence of the farm. Professionally, he is also faced with a decision. Mountaineer Nima Surländer asks him for a prescription for a strong tranquilizer. She's been taking them since her boyfriend Tobias Junger switched to the most life-threatening climbing sport of all - free solo climbing. Tobias is currently planning a free solo ascent of the Steinplatte. He and Nima work together as mountain guides. Together, they have already led several expeditions in the Himalayas. But for a year now, Tobias has been looking for the ultimate challenge and has been free climbing without a partner, and above all, without a safety rope. Nima, who is also an excellent mountaineer, accompanies his tours, films, and photographs them. But the fear that Tobias will fall to his death before her eyes is constantly with her. Nima doesn't understand why Tobias jeopardizes the dream of a future together - both professionally and personally. Martin Gruber also observes a great doggedness in Tobias. When he suddenly gets an unexpected muscle twitch, he has to undergo some tests. The diagnosis is shocking for the ambitious extreme athlete.
