Zamansız ölümü ile olağanüstü sanatından bizi yoksun bırakan kadın yönetmen Sheptiko'nun yaratıcı çabasının doruk noktasını sergileyen "Tırmanış", "gömülü bir hazine olarak sinemanın karanlık tarihinde adeta yok olan" bir film. Adı Tarkovski ve Wajda gibi yönetmenlerle birlikte anılan bu güzel sinemacının bu güzel filmi, esir düşen iki kahramanın ölüm ve vicdanla başbaşa kalmalarını, özveri ile ihanet arasındaki çatışmalarını konu alıyor. 1942 yılının kara kışında Belarus'un ormanlık bir bölgesinde işgalci alman birlikleri ve onlarla işbirliği yapan Ruslardan kaçan bir grup partizan ve köylünün hem düşmanla, hem de açlık ve soğukla mücadelesi çarpıcı bir dille anlatılır. Savaşın kendisinden çok karakterlerin iç dünyalarına yoğunlaşan bu dram, felsefe ve ahlakla desteklenmiş genelleştirmelerle direniş, kahramanlık ve ihanetin psikolojisinin çevresinde de dolanır.
