THE MOUNTAIN
Yemen / 1956 / 105'

The story of two brothers, an old guide who gave up his job after a number of serious accidents, and Cris, a thirty year old dare-devil attracted by money and wealth. The plot is familiar: after the Indian plane crashes and the rescuers fail to reach it, it’s rumoured in the village that the plane was carrying gold. Cris asks his brother to climb the mountain with him. Zaccaria refuses, but Cris blackmails him. A cry is heard; it’s an Indian girl, the only survivor, lying in a state of semi-consciousness. Zaccaria decides to carry her down along the glacier, but Cris is against it. The older one rebels and ignoring his brother’s attacks, begins the descent with the Indian girl, leaving Cris to his destiny. As in a trance, overcoming countless obstacles, Zaccaria manages to carry the girl to the village.
