Every summer, Gara and thirteen-year-old Nada spend their time on the vast grasslands of the Sinjajevina plateau in Montenegro. On horseback, they ride through the impressive highlands, tending sheep and cows, making cheese, and living in close connection with the mountain they call 'Mother.' When the Montenegrin government announces plans to build a NATO training ground in the protected nature area, Gara becomes a determined leader in the resistance. The military training ground threatens not just the landscape, but also their centuries-old way of life.

While Gara fights to preserve their habitat, Nada grows up into a young woman. The family history of the women is marked by loss and violence, and gradually the film reveals a family trauma that Nada has to come to terms with. The women in the community promise to protect her and resist the violence in their own ways, both within their family and from outside forces.

To Hold a Mountain is the first feature-length documentary by Petar Glomazić and Biljana Tutorov. The film had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, where it won the World Cinema Grand Jury Prize: Documentary.
