MISUNDERSTOOD

Nine-year-old Aria, a precocious girl finding her way amidst the unraveling marriage of her temperamental artist parents. Despite the turmoil swirling around her, Aria’s spirit remains irrepressible, buoyed by her vivid imagination and budding talent as a writer.

Asia Argento revisits her childhood trauma in this quirky and deeply personal coming-of-age tale shrouded in black humor. Misunderstood, which screened at Cannes Film Festival, borrows its name from Luigi Comencini’s influential family drama and explores similarly complex parent-child dynamics.
