To save her kingdom, a determined young mermaid princess and her friends must join forces with the creatures that scare them the most — humans.

A brilliant and intelligent love comedy that celebrates second chances and new horizons, starring a strong and determined woman who settles the score.

Penned in its entirety by the director, Settembre tells the story of 14-year-old Maria who comes to the attention of Cristian, a boy she’s always had a crush on, following the school summer holidays. Via Sergio, the girl’s classmate, Cristian asks Maria if she’d like to go to bed with him. It’s an abrupt and unromantic proposition, but she straight away says yes, and then immediately slips into panic mode because she doesn’t know where to begin. When Sergio realises Maria is struggling, he offers to help her. They spend an entire afternoon together, discovering their compatibility for the very first time.
