Gran Paradiso (2000, Germany)


Thanks to Elke Raman:

Mark, who is 19, coping with the recent death of his parents, and paralyzed
from the waist down, is sent to a center for the mentally handicapped.
Placed there because no space is available at a more appropriate clinic, the
former athlete is on the verge of suicide when Lisa, a new therapist,
intervenes and promises to find a way to get Mark to the summit of one of
the Alps he used to climb. Organizing a motley crew of climbers that
includes Mark, herself, two mentally handicapped patients, and three
juvenile delinquents, Lisa struggles to make it to the top with her
difficult charges.
