In a remote village suspended in time, Maura Delpero conjures her own family's past in a luminous tale that recalls the great Italian neorealists.
Synopsis
Vermiglio portrays the lives of a provincial family in a remote village suspended in time by the customs of a fading era. Conjuring stories from her own family’s past, Delpero creates a deeply personal and human tale that recalls the great neorealist movement in Italian cinema. Yet, through Lucia’s perspective, Vermiglio feels distinct and novel.
