In their adaptation of the beloved novel by Paolo Cognetti, the filmmakers Felix van Groeningen (an Oscar nominee for BROKEN CIRCLE BREAKDOWN) and Charlotte Vandermeersch tell the story of two childhood friends who reunite in the Alps to build a cottage together. A meditation on time, friendship and loss, the film won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival. (Belgium, 2022, 147m)
“***** … a deeply intelligent meditation on our capacity for love … with mystery and passion, it climbs mountainous heights and rewards you with the opposite of vertigo: a sort of exaltation.” –The Guardian
