The TV series in twelve episodes of 50 ‘, directed by Tiziana Aristarco, co-production Rai Fiction – Italian International Film, produced by Fulvio and Paola Lucisano, is starting. Written by Fabrizio Cestaro, Doriana Leondeff, Fabrizia Midulla and Marco Videtta, “Mina Settembre” is freely taken from the short stories by Maurizio de Giovanni “A day in September at Christmas” and “A telegram from September”, published by Sellerio. All this translates into a contemporary feminine tale made of brilliant humor and profound moments of empathy and humanity. Mina Settembre is a sentimental dramedy set in Naples, which has as its protagonist a social worker who is constantly looking for a solution to the problems of others. At the same time it is also the story of a woman – with a strong character, but also sweet and fragile – who tries to put her life back on its feet. Having recently separated and still undecided about her feelings about her, Mina is divided between her ex-husband Claudio and Domenico, the new gynecologist of the clinic where she works. Temporarily a guest at her mother’s house, a cold and cynical high-bourgeois with a sharp joke, Mina also finds herself dealing with a mystery linked to the past of her father, who has recently died: who is the woman portrayed in the photo hidden in her study? What if her father had always lied, hiding a second life from everyone? Determined to find out, Mina launches into an investigation that will lead her to confront a much more uncomfortable truth than she imagined. All this while she runs across town to help those who need her. Comedy, sentiment, drama and mystery are the ingredients of this series which also offers a fresco of Naples – and more generally of our country – and of the variegated and surprising humanity that populates it. Alongside Serena Rossi, the protagonist, a solid cast composed of Giuseppe Zeno, Giorgio Pasotti, Valentina D’Agostino, Christiane Filangieri, Nando Paone, Massimo Wertmuller, Rosalia Porcaro, Ruben Rigillo, Francesco Di Napoli, Davide Devenuto, Michele Rosiello, Susy del Giudice, Primo Reggiani and with the participation of Marina Confalone, in the role of Olga, Mina’s mother. DIRECTOR’S NOTES It’s always a great thrill to read a script and understand that you like the story. You can already see the characters, you can imagine where to make them move and you hear their lines. At first there is a great confusion, then slowly focus. There are many stories that will become a single story. And qu
