The lush and breathtaking beauty of the Alps, filmed with painterly grace in natural light from the cold of winter to the refreshing spring, provides the physical and emotional backdrop for Vermiglio. Maura Delpero’s visionary film, winner of the Silver Lion at the 2024 Venice Film Festival. This exceptional portrait of an expanding family, filmed in the small mountain village of Vermiglio during the waning days of World War II. in the city, having left the army. There, the soldier begins an affair with the eldest daughter of the family, Lucia (Martina Scrinzi). ‘Vermiglio’ shows the life of a provincial family in a remote village, frozen in time by the customs of a fading era. Conjuring up stories from her family’s past, Delpero creates a deeply personal and human tale reminiscent of the great neorealist movement in Italian cinema, but from Lucia’s perspective. Vermiglio; feels unique and new.
