In the remote highlands of Montenegro, a shepherd mother and daughter defend their ancestral mountain from the threat of becoming a NATO military training ground. Their resistance stirs memories of the violence that shattered their family.
Gara spends long days herding sheep, making cheese, and fighting to protect her ancestral land, while raising her daughter Nada to be kind, capable, and empowered.
To Hold a Mountain presents a portrait of a remote mountain community of women sustained by strenuous work and grassroots resistance. Despite daily hardships and the lasting effects of generational trauma, they remain loving and dignified, nurturing one another and the animals they rely on for sustenance. The film captures the significance of love and persistence at a time when the past haunts and the future feels under attack.
