The story begins with a beautiful girl who dreams of becoming a real reporter, but she is making coffee day in and day out. At this time, the Berliner Zeitung where she is working has fired up a news about the Eiger, so she goes back. Go to his hometown and encourage and incite his two friends, Tony and Andy, to take on the task of climbing to the top.
Andy is eager to try it. Tony refuses at first, but finally accepts the task
. Reached the bottom of the Eiger on July 14th and began to prepare for the climb.
At the same time, the girl named Ferna and her boss, a person who claimed to have a keen sense of news, arrived at the hotel at the foot of the mountain at the same time. The director specially arranged two lines to chat and laugh with the brightly dressed tourists during the staggering of gongs and chips . The
four climbers were drinking and selling porridge in the harsh environment, while the tourists were eating cakes to "celebrate the summit" in the hotel. Celebrating the victory of the climbers, of course, the victory did not come as expected.
The good weather and the enthusiastic onlookers of the tourists only lasted for one day. On the
second day, the bad weather began to come, and the tourists lost interest in the climbers in an instant, or , they are only interested in the result of climbing to the
top The next day, they still appeared on the rooftop and scolded Ferna's boss, Henry Arau, for his cruel words
.
A German and two Austrians who were coveting convenience, bad weather, injured team members, so they had to go back the same way,
but on the way back they encountered a storm and avalanche. In the
movie, Andy finally tried his original creation. The Z-shaped method, the frozen hands grasped the rock again and again, and slipped away again and again, the opportunity passed slowly, and the
avalanche smashed Andy into serious injuries, and finally he cut off the rope and said goodbye to Tony, do you still remember that "Long live the mountains"
The last 20 minutes of the film is the real torment. The rescue seems to be close at hand. The difference is that the rope is 30m long or 60m
. Tony hangs on the rock wall and is exhausted. Ferna can only watch him die.
Director It is obvious that I want to use this incident to express something. For example, in 1936, the pursuit of fame and fortune and the loss of human nature.
In the words of the husband who commented on the swarms of tourists, the ending
was "It seems to be watching competitive fighting, it's terrible."

North Face quotes

  • [first lines]

    [in German, quoting English subtitles]

    Luise Fellner: [voiceover] When you're at the bottom - Toni once told me - at the foot of the wall, and you look up, you ask yourself: How can anyone climb that? Why would anyone even want to? But hours later when you're at the top looking down, you've forgotten everything. Except the one person you promised you would come back to.

  • [last lines]

    [in German, quoting English subtitles]

    Luise Fellner: [voiceover] All I know is that death spared me, and that Toni went away forever that day. One has lived if one has loved. There are times when I find this infinitely hard to believe. Most days I feel that I am alive. And that love is the reason for that.
