Gabriel and the Mountain

Before entering a prestigious American university, Gabriel Buchmann decided to travel the world for one year, his backpack full of dreams. After ten months on the road, he arrived in Kenya determined to discover the African continent. Then he reached the top of Mount Mulanje, Malawi, his final destination.

"More than a simple tribute or a fond remembrance, it is a remarkable and full-throated elegy, a work of art that is full of life." (A.O. Scott, New York Times)
