- Synopsis:
Hans Castorp (Christoph Eichhorn), fresh from university and about to become a civil engineer, comes to the Sanatorium Berghof in the Swiss Alps to visit his cousin Joachim (Alexander Radszun), an army officer, who is recovering there from tuberculosis. Intending to remain at the Berghof for three weeks, Hans is gradually contaminated by the morbid atmosphere pervading the place. Wishing very much to be considered a patient like the others, he achieves his ends and stays in the sanatorium for...seven years. During this time, he has enough time to take part in the furious philosophical debates pitting against each other Settembrini (Flavio Bucci), a secular humanist, and Naphta (Charles Aznavour), a totalitarian Jesuit. And to fall in love with the beautiful but enigmatic Clawdia Chauchat (Marie-France Pisier). When he is finally discharged in 1914 - along with all the other patients - it is only to plunge into the horrors of World War I. - Actors:
