Here’s a collection of quotes from the Spanish film, Society Of The Snow (2023):
“Some say it was a tragedy. Others call it a miracle.” – Young man
“What happens when the world abandons you? When you have no clothes and you’re freezing? When you have no food and you’re dying? The answer’s in the mountain.” – Young man
“We have to go back to the past to understand that the past is what changes the most.” – Young man
- “If the plane crash didn’t kill us, the cold will.” – Numa Turcatti
- “We huddle together the best we can. Living and dead, as one.” – Numa Turcatti
“This is a place where life is impossible. Out here, we are an anomaly.” – Numa Turcatti
- “God put us in this situation. He’ll understand we need to survive.”
- “God has nothing to do with this.”
- “And don’t I have the right to to everything I can to survive?”
- “Those of us who don’t eat keep watching the sky. Waiting for a sign.” – Numa Turcatti
“The only thing we have left is our life. And we have to fight for it.” – Marcelo
“The more we try to get out, the more the mountain resists.” – Numa Turcatti
“For the first time, I imagine the possibility that feels increasingly real of not getting back home. But I look at Nando and I feel hope. He trains everyday, obsessed with one idea. Beyond that mountain lies the green valleys of Chile. Climbing it is suicide but I’m going with him.” – Numa Turcatti
“Marcelo was buried. He stopped feeling cold because he didn’t feel anything. And to stop feeling here is a relief. For 17 days, we’ve waited for a moment like that. A moment of calm. A second of quiet.” – Numa Turcatti
“Today is October 30th. Today is my birthday. I’m turning 25. Today it’s hard not to think of home.” – Numa Turcatti
“Cause my faith isn’t in your God. Because that God tells me what I’m supposed to do at home. But he doesn’t tell me what to do on the mountain.” – Arturo
“I hugged Lilian with all my strength. And I felt a love I’d never felt in my life. And I realized that I had a purpose, which was to take that love that I was squeezing there against my chest and bring it to my kids back home.”
- “Her death was not in vain. That wound doesn’t make you useless.”
- “With every day that passes, we lose more of our strength.” – Numa Turcatti
- “What was once unthinkable became a routine.” – Numa Turcatti
“I wonder who these pictures are for. For us? I’ll never see them. Maybe they’re for our families. Or for other people who are remembering us now, looking at pictures of us that were taken in the past. And when they look at them, we’ll live again in their imaginations. Because they’ll ask themselves the same questions we’re asking, ‘What happened to them? What happened to us? Who were we on the mountain?'” – Numa Turcatti
“There is no greater love than to give one’s life for friends.” – Numa Turcatti
- “But they don’t feel like heroes. Because they were dead like us, and only they got to come back home.” – Numa Turcatti
- “Keep taking care of each other. And tell everyone what we did on the mountain.” – Numa Turcatti
