An intimate drama about two lifelong friends who first meet as children in a remote Alpine valley and grow up with the mountains as their shared horizon. Across decades the two men, one rooted in a simple mountain life and the other pulled toward new horizons, navigate love, fatherhood, and drift, while the landscape remains a patient witness. Based on Paolo Cognetti’s novel Le otto montagne, it weaves quiet beauty with restrained, deeply human performances to explore memory, choice, and home.
