"The Flower of Eight Mountains" is a look at people who live far from the hustle and bustle of the valleys, around the vast Monte Rosa mountain in the Alps. It all began with a drought that hit the town of Estoul, located at an altitude of 1,700 meters above sea level. However, this is not a film about how to save the mountains, but about how the mountains can save us. The director hikes them with his faithful dog Laki. In the shelters, he talks to people who have chosen a life at high altitude. The atmosphere of these places is created by the melancholy of the approaching autumn and a feeling of loneliness in the face of the unforgiving mountain landscape. Marta Squinobal runs the only vegan shelter in the entire Alps. She works with Sherpa Sete Tamang and welcomes those who want to look anew within themselves here – at an altitude of 3,855 meters above sea level. Even here, no one speaks openly about the changes that are coming. The beauty of the Alps is unspoiled by mass tourism. The history Cognetti presents unfolds before us in silence.
