Her Dream Became a Movie, Lush and Breathtaking, director Maura Delpero on her new film Vermiglio

Movies are often compared to dreams. In the case of Mauro Delpero’s new film, VERMIGLIO — we hear how the story was inspired by a dream and a nighttime visitation from her father.

Delpero’s beautiful movie explores a moment in history when World War II loomed large against this Alpine Village — a distant, but constant threat. One day a deserted soldier arrives and the dynamics of one family and the village are forever changed.

Quietly and powerfully, with searing landscapes and cinematography, this is a deeply personal story that will stay with you long after you leave the theater. It’s also a tender and intimate portrait of the woman in this small community, with every detail considered with care.

A prize winner at the 2024 Venice Film Festival, VERMIGLIO has also received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Foreign Language Film, and has been shortlisted by the Academy for the 2025 Best International Feature award.
