At its core, The Mountain is all about love and losing love. Family, love, relationships, and their impact on our lives have always been of interest to me and that is the driving force behind my motivation for making this film. The Mountain is a coming-of-age family drama of love and sorrow. Despite the troubles and daily struggles, the family is lovable funny clumsy, and confused. The story has two poles, the reality of daily life and the supernatural cosmic world which we are a part of. The story's universe has a strong connection to nature, the sea, mountains, and the universe.
