A young Italian woman dressed in 1940s clothing clutches a baby to her chest. The baby wears a knitted bonnet as they both stare out of an offscreen window.

About Vermiglio

A gripping family chronicle told in four chapters (or seasons), Vermiglio tells the story of three sisters, a moody father and a seemingly lost soldier in an Italian mountain village at the end of World War II. When Pietro, a young Sicilian soldier arrives in the village with an injured comrade on his back, he is hailed as a hero, catching the eye of Lucia - but their blossoming love is met by intolerance and misogyny.

Captured in intoxicatingly beautiful images, Vermiglio is a deeply moving film supported by a captivating score by Matteo Franceschini.
