Storyline
1944. The war’s rumbling out there, but life in Vermiglio is its own weird bubble—mountains, quiet routines, the kind of place that feels untouched until it isn’t. Then Pietro shows up, this soldier on the run, dragging the chaos of war right up to the front door of the local schoolmaster’s home. Suddenly the house isn’t just full of noise from all those siblings, but tension too—everyone’s on edge, watching Pietro, wondering what his story really is. Lucia, the eldest daughter, is drawn to him in a way she can’t shake. They fall for each other, fast and messy, like people who know the world could fall apart any second. Their love isn’t some fairytale—there’s guilt, fear, and the weight of everything happening outside that tiny village. They marry, but, honestly, nothing goes as planned. Pietro’s presence doesn’t just disrupt the family; it flips their whole future upside down, pulling everyone into a destiny none of them saw coming. The war never really stays outside. It finds its way in.
