BERG follows the stories of the stones, rocks and peaks of a vast mountain landscape. Stark black and white images and a minimalistic soundtrack draw the viewer into a vibrant, intense, cinematic experience. Just as all sense of scale is lost amidst this raw and primal cinematic trip, we see three small human figures - hikers tackling the peak. Following their journey throughout the film, we experience first-hand the overwhelming power of nature and the insignificance of man within it.
