Cinemamed - To Hold a Mountain

High in the Montenegrin highlands, a shepherdess and her foster daughter, haunted by the death of her mother, defend their mountain against its conversion into a NATO military training ground for mortar fire. This violence reactivates the memory of the trauma that shattered their family.

Set against the striking backdrop of a Balkan Western, two generations of women stand up to military-patriarchal oppression.
