在这部山崩剧情片中,Late Middle Ages. Agostino lives in poverty with his wife Nina and son Giovanni outside a small village at the foot of the mountains. An immense mountain rises like a wall, stopping the sun's rays and thus reducing their farmland to stones and twigs. Despite all suggestions to move away for a better life, Agostino insists his family's fate lies there between the peaks. He firmly believes that a man's roots cannot betray him. Agostino struggles in vain to find a solution to better provide for his starving family. But their lives do not improve, and Agostino decides to challenge the ancient mountain's immensity and power.
After Iran, United States and Japan, the U.S.-based Iranian auteur Amir Naderi has shot "Mountain" in Italy. He is the only filmmaker who has made movies in four countries in four languages. He says: ultimately my characters are all survivors, because I believe humans should always make something impossible possible. Italian actors Andrea Sartoretti, whose credits include Mission Impossible 3, A.C.A.B. and TV series Crime Novel (aka Romanzo Criminale), and Claudia Potenza (Basilicata Coast to Coast) have starred in Naderi's " Mountain".
