Born in Kitzbühel, Austria-Hungary, Peter Aufschnaiter went to high school in Kufstein. [1] During his school education he was drafted into military service in the First World War in 1917. After he finished his final exams in 1919 he went to Munich in Germany to study agriculture.Harrer’s first wife was Charlotte Wegener, with whom he shared a son named Peter Harrer. In the film, his wife’s name is Ingrid, and their son is called Rolf. It is true that Harrer was interned in India when his then-wife was pregnant with their son. Moreover, their marriage was dissolved in 1943 while he was still away. However, there are fictitious elements to the onscreen Harrer’s personal life. For example, in reality, Harrer’s son was raised by Charlotte’s mother. In contrast, the film shows Harrer entrusting his friend Horst Immerhof to look after his then-wife, who is pregnant with his baby.

He stands on the parapet of his palace in Lhasa and surveys his domain through a telescope. He is fascinated by the strangers who have arrived in his kingdom, and soon sends his mother to invite Harrer to visit. In October 1997, Annaud justified the film’s need to fill in the blanks. “What fascinated me were the secrets,” he revealed. He continued, “I wanted to invent what Harrer was not saying. The book is very interesting. But the man never talks about his past, he never talks about his roots, he never talks about his family, he never talks about his Germany.” Chinese official positions on Tibet are stated in several white papers issued by the Information (...)
