Maura Delpero

Vermiglio

Set in a remote Italian alpine village in late winter 1944, Vermiglio follows Lucia, a teenage girl whose secret relationship with a Sicilian deserter upends her family and community. Directed by Maura Delpero and shot by Mikhail Krichman, the film observes tradition, Catholic ritual, and female labour with unsentimental precision — avoiding exposition, score-led emotion, or psychological shorthand. Its power lies in accumulation: in gestures, textures, and the weight of unspoken consequence.
