April (Italian: Aprile) is a 1998 Italian semi-autobiographical film written and directed by Nanni Moretti. Moretti also plays the central character, a filmmaker who has to deal with Italy's political situation, his own goals as an artist and becoming a father.
The French director Claire Denis described the film thus, "He wants to make a musical comedy but he can't get started. So instead he talks about his life, his new baby, his desires and fears. Finally in the very last scene he begins."
Moretti's wife, son and mother appear as themselves.
