In the waning days of World War II, a Sicilian deserter arrives in a secluded mountain village in the Italian Alps, where he is taken in by a local schoolteacher with three daughters. His presence irrevocably changes the dynamics of both the village and the family. Set across four seasons, this painterly and patient film carefully observes its provincial milieu, conjuring stories from director Maura Delpero’s own family past. Winner of the Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize at the 2024 Venice Film Festival and Italy’s entry for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film.
