Vermiglio, a mountain village in the Italian Alps. In the winter of 1944, the war is both distant and omnipresent. Attilio has returned home as a deserter, carried over the mountains on the shoulders of his Sicilian comrade, Pietro. Their arrival disrupts the village's life, which unfolds in the eternal rhythm of the seasons. Whispers begin to circulate in the home of the teacher, Cesare, and his large family: Lucia, the eldest daughter, has fallen in love with Pietro, who is waiting, hidden, on the outskirts of the village for the war to end. Her sisters, Ada and Flavia, with whom Lucia shares a room, are also full of dreams. Will their strict father allow them to attend school in the city? What secrets does Cesare keep hidden in his study as he listens to his carefully guarded records of Chopin and Vivaldi? As the seasons change and the world slowly recovers from the tragedy of war, the sisters, under the watchful eye of their mother, Adele, seek their own paths in life. New paths are needed. New product
