There is a point in the mountains where God is said to appear. Many have tried to look for it, out of greed or desperation. Maria wants to save her sister, whom everyone already assumes to be dead. So when she meets Toni, an old drinker who tells her the legend of the “Zima del Signor”, she sees hope. The two embark on a journey through the Belluno Dolomites at the beginning of the 20th century, in search of God. Between magic realism and westerns, the tale of an ascent, through a hostile nature, in search of a place that perhaps does not even exist.

Alessandro Padovani (1993) was born in a village under the Dolomites. He graduated from the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia in Rome and was selected by Biennale Cinema College and Berlinale Talents. He wrote Brotherhood (2021), Golden Leopard at Locarno, directed several documentaries and wrote for RAI.
