Happy Days in competition at the Rome Film Festival

Happy Days, directed by Susanna Nicchiarelli, was screened at the Rome Film Festival in the Progressive Cinema category. The world premiere took place on October 21, 2026, with Susanna Nicchiarelli, Ricardo Scamarcio, Carlotta Gamba, and the rest of the cast in attendance.
Among them was ZUZU, the author of the graphic novel that inspired the film.

Claudia is twenty years old and is a young woman like any other, caught between past and future loves, passions, and challenges to overcome. But Claudia has something special about her: sometimes, when her emotions get the better of her, she transforms into a strange creature with white wings, fangs, and claws.
By following Claudia’s upheavals and adventures, Happy Days tells a story of growth, transformation, and the formation of identity.
