Pietro, a city boy, and Bruno, raised in the Alps, meet as 11-year-olds one summer in Grana—a forgotten mountain village in northwestern Italy. Their friendship grows through subsequent summer visits, introducing them to love and loss, reminding them of their origins, letting their destinies unfold.
Adapting Paolo Cognetti’s prize-winning 2016 novel, directors Felix van Groeningen and Charlotte Vandermeersch craft an exquisite, rapturous epic of camaraderie and the physical spaces that define a relationship. Van Groeningen’s longtime cinematographer, Ruben Impens, imparts breathtaking, meticulously composed visuals to this deeply affecting epic of harmony and friction with the natural world. Winner of the Jury Prize at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival.
