Winner of three awards at Venice, the stunningly beautiful new film by Maura Delpero (Maternal, 2019 Haifa IFF) is told in four chapters, each set in a different season. Vermiglio takes us into the world of a remote Italian mountain village, near the end of the Second World War, to present a hauntingly beautiful period tale of family life gradually torn apart.

1944, in Vermiglio, a high mountain village of the Italian Alps, where war looms as a distant but constant threat. The arrival of Pietro, a refugee soldier, disrupts the life of the local teacher’s family, changing it forever. Pietro and Lucia, the eldest daughter of the teacher, are instantly drawn to each other, and as the world emerges from its tragedy, the family may face its own.

Filmography: Maternal (2019).
