North Face
Based on a true story, North Face is a gripping edge-of-your-seat adventure drama about a 1936 expedition to climb the most dangerous rock face in the Alps, the North Face of the Eigeraka the "Murder Wall". The Eiger has never been successfully climbed and, as the Berlin Olympics approach, Nazi propaganda urges German alpinists to vanquish the mountain for the glory of the Fatherland. Initially reluctant, two top young climbers, Toni Kurz (Benno Furmann, "Joyeux Noel") and Andi Hintertoisser (Florian Lukas, "Good Bye Lenin"), are persuaded to take up the challenge by their childhood friend Luise (Johanna Wakalek, "The Baader Meinhof Complex"), now an aspiring photojournalist in Berlin, and her boss (Ulrich Tukur, "The Lives of Others"), a loyal Nazi looking for a good story. Soon the climb in on and what begins as a quest for glory becomes a desperate fight for survival.
