THE MOUNTAIN CRUMBLES is a minimalist drama, centered around the relationship of two brothers -- Gerry and Leon. After having not seen much of each other since childhood, Gerry and Leon are back in the town they grew up in, and decide to take the first step toward reconnecting over a weekend camping trip. Just as they begin to navigate their way out of the initial awkwardness of their new bond, the introduction of a mysterious young female backpacker begins to expose the more complicated urges of adulthood inside them. Set against the sweeping landscape of the Oregon wilderness, THE MOUNTAIN CRUMBLES magnifies the little interactions between three people that ultimately build to defining realizations.
