If the mountain could speak to us, would we know how to listen? Per silenzio e vento (Through Silence and Wind) explores the spiritual bond between human beings and the mountain environment, moving beyond the idea of mountaineering as a mere conquest or hedonistic pursuit to become an act of profound listening.

Through the eyes of writer Matteo Righetto and his encounters with mountaineers, scholars, and those who live and work in the mountains, the film reflects on the ethical value of high altitudes in an era of ecological crisis and tourist pressure. The mountain is not just a backdrop, but a living body inviting us to a radical change: rediscovering the poetry of the silvaticus to rebuild a sense of community.

A collective journey toward a semantic and evocative redefinition of "mountaineering" along the path of: I, mountain, we.
