The writer Paolo Cognetti, winner of the 2017 Strega Prize for “Le Otto Montagne” with over 1,000,000 copies sold in over 39 countries (450,000 in Italy alone), travels in the footsteps of Ernest Hemingway, Raymond Carver, H.D. Thoreau, Jack London and Chris McCandless, on a literary and exciting journey from the Alps to Alaska, up to the legendary Magic Bus. Man and nature intertwine in a film with a powerful visual impact. A path traced by the travel experience and the words of the Italian writer, accompanied by his friend Nicola Magrin, traveler and illustrator, but above all by the words of some of the great masters of American Literature who accompany the path, in search of a new existential frontier for man and for his coexistence with the environment that surrounds us.

“Paolo Cognetti. Dreams of the Great North” ranked third at the box office, with a gross of 103,000 euros. The film was also distributed in Switzerland and Holland
