Seven Years in Tibet
“At the end of the world his real journey began.”
Austrian mountaineer Heinrich Harrer journeys to the Himalayas without his family to head an expedition in 1939. But when World War II breaks out, the arrogant Harrer falls into Allied forces' hands as a prisoner of war. He escapes with a fellow detainee and makes his way to Lhasa, Tibet, where he meets the 14-year-old Dalai Lama, whose friendship ultimately transforms his outlook on life.
This is a majestic, contemplative journey across breathtaking landscapes and into the heart of a profound cultural shift. It feels like an epic of self-discovery, imbued with a spiritual weight and a melancholic beauty, as a hardened spirit slowly unfurls through unexpected connection and a world on the brink of change.
