What better way to spend a dreary, wet and cold Saturday afternoon than to be in the cinema watching a fillum #vermiglio #ultimatepicturepalce #oxford
A still from the film Vermiglio set in the trentino region of the alps in Northern Italy. It shows a snow covered landscape with a barn and two figures in the doorway
