Set in northwest Italy’s spectacular Aosta Valley region and adapted from Paolo Cognetti’s novel with transfixing beauty, The Eight Mountains explores the extraordinary lifelong friendship between two men, Bruno (Alessandro Borghi) and Pietro (Luca Marinelli), who, once divided as children, now find themselves reconnected as they embark on building a mountain cabin – reforging and restoring an irreplaceable bond.

An epic story expressed through intimate gestures and set amidst the spectacular panoramas of the Alps and Nepal, The Eight Mountains is a heartbreaking reflection on our connection to nature and the strength and fragility that coexist within us.

Rich, beautiful and inexpressibly sad … A movie with air in its lungs and love in its heart. Five stars.” – The Guardian

In Italian with English subtitles
