In a remote mountain valley in Piedmont, the former human trafficker Cesare discovers the corpse of his nephew Fausto, whom Cesare had introduced to the business. Meanwhile, the Milanese Commissioner Sonia di Meo, who takes on the case, suspects the local drug mafia with which Fausto was mixed up in. When Cesare learns that his nephew left a group of refugees behind on an alp, he decides to set out on his own to bring them back to safety. Soon he is face to face with an unexpected opponent. Set against the back of impressive mountain scenery, Nicola Bellucci’s debut work is a stylish adaptation of the eponymous bestseller by Davide Longo, a story that has maintained particularly poignant in the face of the current refugee drama.
