Among the peaks of the Western Alps, a devoted guide uncovers ancient engravings revealing a lost connection between humanity and the cosmos, as he strives to preserve these sacred traces from erasure. A journey into deep time, where science and myth merge, and the mountains themselves seem to whisper forgotten truths.
My Holy Mountain, a creative documentary, tells the story of the discoveries made on the summit of Roccerè in the Western Alps through original narraHon and directorial research that combines observation and vision. Engravings, altars, and cup marks that reappeared aoer a fire sparked thirty years of research conducted by local guides, archaeologists, scientists, and enthusiasts. The film follows the personal journeys of those who have dedicated a significant part of their lives to studying and protecting the site, highlighHng a search for truth that is never unambiguous, but made up of hypotheses, verifications, doubts, and comparisons. The testimonies intertwine in a narrative that reflects the dialogue between scientific knowledge, memory of the territory, and symbolic interpretations. The narrative touches on spiritual and scientific themes and confronts an evocative plane marked by the imaginary presence of Cernunnos, an ancestral figure engraved in the rock. My Holy Mountain thus becomes a journey between past and present, between the legacy of primitive men and the passions, doubts, and hopes of those who, today, seek to understand its meaning.
