SEVEN YEARS IN TIBET is based on the book by Austrian mountaineer Heinrich
Harrer, who joins a German climbing team shortly before the outbreak of World
War 2. The aim is to climb the Nanga Parbat mountain in British India and Harrer
intends to be back home with his pregnant wife after 4 months. Bad weather and
internal disputes within the climbing team prevents them from reaching their target
and when the war breaks out, they are arrested and placed in a prisoner-of-war
camp. The group manages, however, to escape and flee the camp.
Heinrich Harrer has a fierce temper and wants to go his own way, but Peter
Aufschnaiter, one of the other members of the expedition, catches up with
him. The relationship between the two men is chilly, but throughout the film
they develop a warm friendship. The two men go through an awful lot, before
they manage to settle down in the holy town Lhasa. Peter marries the beautiful
seamstress Pema Lhaki and Heinrich befriends the young Dalai Lama, who is
curious about life outside Lhasa and Tibet.

Seven Years in Tibet is a big film and Brad Pitt is wonderful in the role as Heinrich
Harrer. He wears several handsome sweaters in the film and I have chosen to mix
the sweaters and add a little inspiration from Tibetan textiles.

Director: Jean-Jacques Annaud

Year of release: 1997

Music: John Williams has written the music for the film, but for me it will always be
Clair de Lune by Debussy that I will remember.
