The Eight Mountains

The Eight Mountains is a poignant and captivating drama that explores the profound and complex relationship between two men, Pietro and Bruno, over four decades. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Italian Alps, the film follows their journey from childhood friendship to estrangement and eventual reunion as adults, building a house together in a remote village. Through their story, the film delves into themes of identity, belonging, and the human search for meaning, set against the powerful metaphor of the eight mountains and the nine mountain ranges of Buddhist cosmology.
