The Eight Mountains (12A)

This rich, beautiful, and inexpressibly sad film is about the friendship between two men who were best childhood friends growing up in the Italian mountains.   They now unite as grown men to build a shack in the valley which will be their special place.   It is set in the Italian alpine valley of Aosta with breathtaking photography as the two men try to talk about their feelings, rekindle their friendship and deal with the difficult past.

“A movie with air in its lungs and love in its heart”.
