Arianna

At the age of nineteen, Arianna still hasn't had her first period. The hormones that her gynecologist has prescribed don't seem to have any effect on her development. In the heat of the silent summer afternoons she spends time at the family's hunting lodge in Tuscany. She starts inquiring about her body and her past, to finally face the true nature of her sexuality and identity.

Winner of the Golden Globe for Best Actress at the Golden Globes, Italy. Nominated for the MovieZone Award at the Rotterdam International Film Festival. Winner of Best Actress in a Debut Film and nominated for the Queer Lion at the Venice Film Festival.

"Carlo Lavagna's stylish, tender debut feature is a worthwhile addition to the growing pile of alternative gender studies on film ... [a] dreamy, heat-hazed character study." - Guy Lodge, Variety
