1944. In Vermiglio, a high mountain village of the Italian Alps, the Second World War looms as a distant, but constant, threat.

When refugee soldier Pietro arrives in the village, his presence disrupts the dynamics of a local teacher's family when he's drawn to the teacher's daughter Lucia romantically. As the film unfolds over four seasons marking the end of the war, the couple's relationship leads to an unexpected fate...

As Italy's selection for the Oscar's® in 2025, Vermiglio uncovers the hidden depths of lies and secrets in what is apparently an idyll in the mountains.
