When a competitive young man looses his chance to reach a famous mountain top against both bad weather as well as because of his total lack of cooperation with his team he ends up arrested when the second world war sets off during his trip and must learn to become a humble man to survive in a world totally different from anything he ever experienced before.

This might be me, but this reads as two loglines. Both possess a lot of information, one giving the time period and the latter describing the protagonist; yet both could be condensed into one. Especially for an epic like this movie, what is the most vital storyline and what does he get to experience?

PITCH: After a series of unfortunate events, a competitive, stubborn man falls short of one goal to understand and embrace humility in the presence of the future Dalai Lama. (had to reference IMdB)
