Modern Films have released the gorgeous looking UK Trailer for Italian drama Vermiglio. The film is set for UK next month and Maura Delporo’s (Maternal) award-winning film looks set to be Italy’s Oscar entry for Best International feature.
The film stars Tommaso Ragno, Roberta Rovelli, Martina Scrinzi, and Giuseppe De Domenico. Vermiglio takes us back to 1944 and to a remote village in the Italian Alps, war looms int he distance. When a Italian deserter arrives in town he quickly is drawn to the town’s school masters daughter and an unexpected fate.
In 1944, in a mountain village high up in the Italian Alps, war looms as a distant but constant threat. Cesare Graziadei (Tommaso Ragno), the local schoolmaster and his wife Adele (Roberta Rovelli) have eight living children including Lucia (Martina Scrinzi), Ada (Rachele Potrich), and Flavia (Anna Thaler).
The arrival of Pietro (Giuseppe De Domenico), a Sicilian soldier who has deserted from his unit, disrupts the dynamics of Cesare’s family, changing them forever. During the four seasons marking the end of World War II, Pietro and Lucia, the eldest daughter, are instantly drawn to each other leading to an unexpected fate. As the world emerges from tragedy, the family will face its own.
Vermiglio is a story of children and adults, deaths, births, disappointments and rebirths as each new season waxes and wanes. This sweeping, yet intimate, family chronicle was inspired by Delpero’s personal and family recollections of the house and community where her father grew up and became a box-office sensation when it opened in Italy in September, becoming the top Italian independent film of 2024, outperforming Luca Guadagnino’s Bones and All and Alice Rohrwacher’s La Chimera.
Vermiglio will be in UK and Irish cinemas from 17th January 2025.
