MINNESOTA PREMIERE

About the film

A thread runs through the lives of the three characters in Settembre — a quest for human connection, happiness, and the allure of new beginnings, transcending age and life paths. Giulia Louise Steigerwalt, both screenwriter and actress, makes a brilliant directorial debut with this finely crafted comedy/drama, where authenticity resonates in every character. Settembre won two David Di Donatello Awards for Best New Director and Best Lead Actress, along with four nominations for Nastri D’Argento, winning one for Best New Director in 2022.
