Pietro is a boy from the city, Bruno is the last child of a forgotten mountain village. Over the years Bruno remains faithful to his mountain, while Pietro is the one who comes and goes. Their encounters introduce them to love and loss, reminding them of their origins, letting their destinies unfold, as Pietro and Bruno discover what it means to be true friends for life.

Winner of the Jury Prize at Cannes this year, The Eight Mountains adapts Paolo Cognetti's award-winning novel to the screen and presents an ode to mountain peaks, to friendship and life's unpredictable paths.
