Aura Entertainment’s romantic comedy Under the Stars invites viewers to embark on a charming voyage through Italy, filled with laughter, love, and rediscovery. Directed by Michelle Danner and written by Victoria Vinuesa, this indie gem tells the story of a struggling romance novelist who finds himself trapped in a passionless relationship and stuck in writer's block. Seeking inspiration, he travels to Italy, where life takes an unexpected turn through the power of new connections and rediscovered feelings.
The film stars Alex Pettyfer as James, the novelist who hopes Italy’s rustic charm will reignite his creativity and his heart. Alongside him are the charismatic Andy Garcia as Giovanni, his warm Italian host, and Eva De Dominici playing Sofia, a spirited local woman who challenges the protagonist's preconceived notions about love and life. Adding further depth, Toni Collette delivers a soulful performance that complements the film’s emotional resonance. The vibrant setting of Puglia, Italy, with its sun-soaked vineyards and cobblestone streets, provides a picturesque backdrop that enhances the film’s romantic mise-en-scène.
Under the Stars beautifully explores themes of second chances and self-discovery, wrapped in the comforting glow of a romantic comedy. The narrative captures the universal human experience of finding love when least expected and the courage required to embrace it.
The chemistry among the cast and the heartfelt screenplay combine to create not just a story about love, but about healing, inspiration, and living fully. Director Michelle Danner’s expertise in blending humor with sincerity shines throughout the film, making it a standout among 2025 releases.
