It is a story about friendship. Two boys grow up avoiding the paths blazed by their parents, but despite the detours, they keep coming back home. Pietro (Luca Marinelli) grew up in the city, while Bruno (Alessandro Borghi) was the last child of a village sinking into oblivion. Brun is faithful to his Highland origins, while Pietro keeps going out into the world and coming back. Over the years, they meet again and again, reliving their loves, their losses and reflecting on their roots. Although their destinies are different, they both know what it means to have a lifelong friend. "From the first minutes of this epic film, you will forget you are sitting in a cinema, surrounded by nature: mountains, valleys, changing seasons and mountains again. The film is full of visual metaphors that will help you to better understand the bond between the friends and ask pertinent universal questions about the flow of life, the transience and the meaning. How many mountains will you have to climb before you reach the peak you are climbing? "Eight Mountains is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Italian writer Paolo Cognetti."
