Nima Temba Sherpa plot

Nima Temba Sherpa and his brothers left because the livelihoods in the mountains of Nepal are insufficient. Now they live and work in the capital Kathmandu. The almost daily climbing expeditions and tourist trekking through the Himalayas are the main source of income for many Sherpas such as Nima. Nima Temba Sherpa follows this experienced mountain guide on one of his expeditions, which involves an attempt to climb the 8,200-meter-high Cho Oyu. For once, the film shows the world of mountaineering not from the perspective of Western climbers, but from the perspective of a hard-working Sherpa, for whom respect for nature, the safety of his people and the responsibility for his family ultimately outweigh the blind. ambition to reach the top.
