Why watch?
“Vermiglio features some of the most stunning scenery I've seen on film. Delpero manages to capture fascinating portrayals of some heavy struggles, particularly for the female family members, without being too heavy-handed in her approach.”

Set during the waning days of WWII amongst the lush and breath-taking beauty of the Alps, the arrival of Pietro, a Sicilian Soldier, who hides out in the town after deserting the army, sets a new course for all the towns residents.
Conjuring stories from her own family’s past, Delpero creates a stunningly shot, deeply personal and human film, which won the Silver Lion at the 2024 Venice Film Festival.
The screening features a pre-recorded intro by the film's director Maura Delpero.
