If the mountains could speak to us, would we know how to listen? Per silenzio e vento explores the spiritual bond between human beings and the mountain environment, going beyond the idea of mountaineering as a conquest or hedonistic pursuit, transforming it into a profound form of listening. Through the eyes of writer Matteo Righetto and his encounters with mountaineers, academics and people living and working in the mountains, the film reflects on the ethical value of high-altitude areas in an era of ecological crisis and overtourism.
