Jabal - la montagna

Giusy is tired of living in the community where she grew up, in the indifference of the older ones and the hostility of her companions. She decides to cut the ties that force her and ventures out alone on the streets of a gray and aggressive Palermo. Her courage makes her come to the rescue of an old wandering poet who, however, disappears at dusk in the belly of a mountain. Giusy will find a new road.

Directed by Alessio Genovese, Jabal - la montagna leans on a strong ensemble — Cecilia Arena, Giuseppe Lo Piccolo, Mimmo Cuticchio — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2021.
