“I get the feeling that some people think the mountains should become a museum, a park for visitors to come and see. But that’s not the case. We live here all year round. It is our home.” The words of the parish priest in the small community of Forno reveal the profound meaning of the film, in which the return of the pestiferus lupus becomes a symbol and metaphor for mountains that cannot be reduced to an idealised world constructed and cultivated elsewhere.
