READ MORE: Venice Days Announces Impressive Lineup, Including International and World Premieres
Based on the exclusive trailer for “Arianna,” it looks like the diverse Venice Days lineup will be even more exciting than originally thought.
Marking Carlo Lavagna’s feature film debut, “Arianna” is a unique Italian-language coming-of-age film that follows the titular Arianna (Ondina Quadri), a 19 year old who becomes obsessed with the conspicuous absence of her period. When she finds herself returning to her childhood summer home after a 16-year absence, Arianna attempts to understand the intricacies of her body and the secrets it hides as she begins to confront the nature of her sexuality and her own identity.
“Arianna” will screen in competition this month at Venice Days along with 20 other selected features, with its world premiere on September 4. Watch the NSFW trailer above.
