Italian 2022
An epic journey of friendship and self-discovery set in the Italian Alps. As a cinematic experience, it is as intimate as it is monumental. When middle-class Pietro’s family escape Turin by coming to the (fictional) Alpine village of Grana for the summer, Pietro befriends local lad Bruno. The 12-year-old boys roam far afield in this magical place and their friendship blossoms but over time, circumstances conspire to drive them apart. Years later, the estranged friends reunite, in order to realize his dream of rebuilding a ruined cabin on a mountain slope.
