Nascent Love (Vespasian: Amore Nascente) is a 2021 Etrurian drama film, directed by Leonora Gemelli and written by Fiora D'Rossi. It stars Olimpia Carano, Frederico Armani, Giovanna D'Santi and Rosa Verdi. It follows Sotiriana Lucibello, a high-flying media executive after a brief affair with a Gaullican colleague, in which she becomes pregnant several weeks before Etruria's government instituted a near-total ban on abortion. The film was seen as a repudation of the Etrurian government and the retrograde approach to women's rights.
Production began in late 2020 and continued through to mid-2021. The film was predominately filmed in Faulia and Caoria. Nascent Love first premiered at the 82nd Montecara Film Festival on October 18, 2021, before being released in Etruria on October 21.
