Alice Godart

An epic journey of friendship and self-discovery set in the breathtaking Italian Alps, The Eight Mountains follows over four decades the profound, complex relationship between Pietro and Bruno.

The Protagonist, going by her first name, is presented to us in her natural environment: a jungle often sadly devoid of density. But today, she’s had enough! Being the mother, the secretary, the lover, the nanny, the sex interest of the main male character is no longer enough for our dear Protagonist. Put on “mute” after having used up the speaking time allotted to the female* characters of a film, she runs away with her buddy Voice Over, starting out on a new journey. All in good fun.

A poultry farmer from father to son, Étienne has also made a name for himself as a motorcycle racer. All this leaves little time for family life. As he struggles to save his poultry farm from an uncertain future and illness catches up with him, his daughter Alice returns to the farm to help him and begin a dialogue that is long overdue.

To escape the homophobic reality of their homeland, two Brazilian twin brothers are now living in Europe.

Set during the 2018 Brazilian elections, the brothers' anguish about the future of their country under the rise of far-right candidate Jair Bolsonaro deepens when one of the twins is involved in an accident.
