Mut (mountain in the dialect of Bergamo) is a day in the highlands, an allegory for a centuries-old summer tradition of life across mountain pastures. Through the eyes of two young herders and their parents, the cyclical rhythm of life becomes a universal testament to the enduring bond between humans and animals, revealing a kinship molded by gestures, silences, and affection, deeply embedded within the surrounding natural world.
