AWARDS: German Film Critics Awards - Best Screenplay
Germany 1936: the Olympic Games are close at hand and Nazi Germany is lusting for new idols. Mountaineers from all over Europe head for the most dangerous rock face in the Alps, the North Face of the Eiger in the quest for a gold medal: among them German climbing aces Toni (Fürmann) and Andreas (Lukas). During preparations, they meet Luise (Wokalek), an old school friend and Toni’s childhood sweetheart, who has been sent to make a propaganda story of the event. When the men’s expedition descends into a dramatic struggle for survival, Luise sets out to save her former lover in a race against both time and the elements. Based on a true story, NORTH FACE is a deeply spectacular drama full of unbelievably epic shots and nerve shredding tension. ~ Inverness Film Festival
