Synopsis
Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 2024 Venice Film Festival, The Mountain Bride – Vermiglio is an atmospheric, visually breathtaking portrait of a family in the final year of WWII. Written and directed by Maura Delpero, drawing from her own family’s past and collective memory, this rich, intimate drama follows a series of consequential events in a village caught between tradition and modernity. 1944. In Vermiglio, a small mountain village high up in the Italian Alps, war looms as a distant but constant threat. When reserved soldier Pietro (Giuseppe De Domenico) arrives in the village, hiding out after deserting the army, he disrupts the dynamics of the family of local teacher schoolteacher Cesare Graziadei (Tommaso Ragno, also in The Illusion and Sicilian Letters). Pietro and Lucia (Martina Scrinzi), Cesare’s eldest daughter, are instantly drawn to each other leading to an unexpected fate. Over the course of four seasons, secrets swirl beneath the surface and as the world emerges from the tragedy of war, the family finds their lives transformed. Please note, not screening in Perth.
