At nineteen, Arianna still hasn’t had her first period. The hormones her gynecologist has prescribed don’t seem to have any effect on her development. In the heat of the Tuscan summer she starts inquiring about her body and past, to face the true nature of her sexuality and identity.

A coming-of-age story inspired by a documentary, Arianna takes its time to depict how confusion and the resurgence of memories unfurl into a journey of self-discovery that transcends gender binarism. A sensitive, award-winning debut feature, elegantly shot by cinematographer Hélène Louvart.
