Outline

Oscar-nominated as Best Foreign Film for its visually stunning widescreen cinematography and authentic drama, Himalaya tells the story of a perilous trek to trade salt for grain in the dizzying locations of these spectacular mountains. Family conflicts introduce human emotions - tragedy, pride, power and ancestral prejudices - into the struggle against the elements.
