Summary

Pietro lives in Milan; the only thing he shares with his parents is their love for the Dolomites, the mountains that hug the northeastern border of Italy. While on vacation at the foot of the mountains, Pietro meets Bruno, an adventurous local boy. Together they spend many summers exploring the mountain's meadows and peaks and discover the similarities and differences in their lives, their backgrounds, and their futures. As their paths in life diverge-- Bruno's in the mountains, Pietro's in cosmopolitan cities across the world-- it tests the strength and meaning of their connection. -- adapted from jacket
