Description:

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Nepalese Himalayas, "Himalaya - L\'Enfance d\'Un Chef" is a captivating tale directed by Eric Valli and Michel Debats.

This visually stunning film delves into the themes of tradition, leadership, and the clash between old and new ways of life. The story follows an aging village chief, Tinle, played by Thilen Lhondup, who struggles to maintain his authority after the death of his son. As he prepares for the annual salt trek across the mountains, Tinle faces opposition from Karma, a young and ambitious caravan leader portrayed by Karma Wangel.

The narrative explores the intergenerational tension as Karma seeks to lead the caravan in a modern, efficient manner, while Tinle insists on adhering to traditional customs. With a strong emphasis on the cultural and spiritual life of the Dolpo people, the film presents a poignant reflection on the passage of time and the resilience of human spirit.

Supported by a talented ensemble cast including Lhakpa Tsamchoe and Labrang Tundup, "Himalaya" is both a compelling human drama and a tribute to the majestic beauty of the Himalayan landscape. The film is presented in French with English subtitles, offering audiences a glimpse into a remote world rarely seen on screen.
