"a film that\u2019s wise and patient enough to show us the twists and turns of paths without constantly telling us where to go" Financial Times<\/i>
<\/div>\n <\/blockquote>\n

Tracing the friendship of two boys (who meet aged twelve in an idyllic mountain village in the Italian Alps) during several life-altering encounters, the film explores what it means to be true friends for life while dealing with generational guilt and trauma. Co-winner of the 2022 Cannes Jury Prize and based on the 2016 award-winning novel by Paulo Cognetti.
