When a handsome Sicilian deserter arrives at the remote village of Vermiglio high in the snowy Alps of Alto Adige in the last year of WWII, he disrupts the ancient balance of village life. Lucia, the eldest daughter of the Graziadeis family, falls for him, with consequences that will affect everyone in unexpected ways.
“The remarkable, raw-boned and ravishing Vermiglio takes place in the past but operates like a future family secret playing out in the present tense.” ~Jessica Kiang, Variety
“Vermiglio is rich in textures and tactile pleasures and is performed with conviction by a cast mixing professional and non-professional actors.” ~Ankit Jhunjhunwala, The Playlist
“Pulsates with harsh, anguished emotion, thanks in no small part to splendid visuals that make it the most beautiful film of the year.” ~Nick Schager, The Daily Beast
