I was born twice, actually three times.

Drama

Arianna is nineteen, but she's still waiting to get her first period. As the summer begins, her parents decide to renew their acquaintance with their country house on Lake Bolsena, where Arianna lived until she was three, and has never been back. As the family settle in for the summer, long-repressed memories start to re-emerge, and Arianna decides to stay on after her parents return to the city.

VIBE

A languid, sun-drenched Italian summer unfolds with a quiet intensity. It's a film about unspoken feelings and the gentle, sometimes painful, process of self-discovery. The atmosphere is thick with nostalgia and the weight of unspoken truths.
