Wilde Pyrenäen - Berge des Lichts
Wild Pyrenees - Mountains of light
Jürgen Eichinger / Germany / 2009 / 44 min / Colour
Italian premiere
The Pyrenees range extends for more than 400 kilometres of high massifs, lush forests, waterfalls, and mountain lakes that form a unique landscape between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. They form a natural barrier that separates the sunny, arid Spanish side from the French, which is humid, heavily forested, and rich in water. Here thrive precious and rare species of fauna and flora. On the rocky peaks and in the deep canyons, carved out over time by torrents, raptors are a common sight. while the rocky ravines host flowering plants that grow only here. The human presence fits naturally into the life of these mountains, favoured by the Mediterranean climate. Throughout the seasons, man’s work and nature’s rhythms intertwine, immersed in vast panoramas and dominated by a huge, natural painting created by the sun, the winds, and the clouds that have given the Pyrenees the appellation, “mountains of light”.
