'Seven Years in Tibet'is one of the greatest movies I already watched in my life,specially because it is based in a real story.
Austria,1939. Heinrich Harrer is having a discussion with his wife,Ingrid Harrer,because she does not want him to go to the Himalayas,since she is pregnant and feeling lonely. Henrich is a rude,impatient and insensible man,but also a famous mountain climber who is a hero for the Nazi propaganda. He is going to climb Mt. Nanga Parbat at the Himalayas with Peter Aufschnaiter(the expedition's leader) and other men.
Months passed and they finally reach Nanga Parbat,defined by his own words 'as a national obsession'.Because of his proud personality,Heinrich had problems with Peter during the expedition Saddly,the expedition failed because of avalanches,and since they are in war times,Heinrich and his team were all made prisoners from the British,since all enemy allies from Germany are enemies from the British Empire.(what means Austria,Heinrich's country)
They manage to scape,and Peter and Heinrich has success in entering in Lhasa,the Forbidden city of Tibet where Dalai Lama lived. There,he will make friendship with Dalai Lama and learn important lessons for his life,what will make him a better person.
