English Subs – Vermiglio
Director Maura Delpero drew on her own family history for Vermiglio, loosely modeling the village schoolteacher after her grandfather. Vermiglio is, in her words, a story of parents and children, life and death, great heights, walls of snow and the smell of warm milk on a frosty morning. And always that mountain that reminds its inhabitants every day how puny they are. Vermiglio was awarded the Silver Lion, the grand jury prize, at the Venice Film Festival.

1944. In Vermiglio, a mountain village high in the Italian Alps, war casts its shadow over life, even though it is far away. The arrival of Pietro, a deserted Sicilian soldier, disrupts the dynamics of the otherwise quiet village, and especially those within the teacher’s family. Lucia, the eldest of the family, is deeply attracted to the stranger. In four seasons, we see how the thick layer of snow melts, love blossoms and peace spreads across Italy. But while the rest of the world slowly emerges from tragedy, the family suffers its own tragedy.
