Anton Carrel is a mountain guide in Italy’s Breuil and dreams of being the first to reach the top of the Matterhorn. He gets his chance when English climber Edward Whymper hires him as a guide. Carrel agrees although his envious stepbrother convinces him that Whymper has eyes for the Italian’s wife. The joint expedition fails, but Carrel saves the Englishman’s life and they go their separate ways as friends. Years later, their fates are once again entwined as they compete to reach the summit. Whymper wins the race, but on July 14, 1865, on the way down, four members of his team fall to their deaths. (Berlinale)
