Where do mountains go if we allow them to die? Death of a Mountain is a testament to the contemporary French-Italian mountain border. We see through the eyes of amateur filmmakers that have been capturing this mountain ever since the invention of short film; we lean on the words of a woman who tells us about her mountain, her connection to this territory from birth to its disappearance; we watch how the territory changes over the years. A woman tells us about the mountain, a landscape almost indistinguishable from her own body. Through archival footage, she entrusts us with the story of her life, her childhood memories and the reality of the ongoing war that will ultimately lead to the destruction of this place.
