(2024, Italy, France, Belgium, 119')

Meticulously realistic reconstruction of life in the village that gives the film its title over the course of four seasons, with a realism that looks to the lesson of Ermanno Olmi . Winter, 1944. In a high mountain village in Trentino, where war is a distant but omnipresent horizon, live the sisters Lucia, Ada and Flavia. When they decide to take in a refugee soldier, their lives change forever.
