Unfolding against the stunning backdrop of a remote Italian mountain village, Maura Delpero’s film is a hauntingly beautiful period tale of family life gradually torn apart.

In the last days of the Second World War, a deserting soldier disrupts a tranquil and isolated mountain community. For one family, his arrival brings excitement and romance, but tragedy lies in wait. With a painterly eye and finding depth in the details of everyday life, Delpero imbues her drama with intelligence and suspense, fulfilling the promise she showed with Maternal, her debut.
