SYNOPSIS

In the summer of 1984, Pietro, an 11-year-old from Turin, came to a village called Grana in the Italian Alps. There Pietro meets Bruno, the last kid remaining in the village and they quickly become friends. 15 years later, One winter night, 31-year-old Pietro receives a call that his father has died. He returns to the mountains and finds Bruno in Grana. 

NOTE

[Felix van Groeningen & Charlotte Vandermeersch, Directors​]

We wanted to make an epic film, told in tiny gestures. An ode to the fragility and strength of every single living being, be it a human being, an animal, a plant, or a mountain.
