Alice on and Off

LOGLINE

How to teach someone to love if no one has ever taught you.

SYNOPSIS

Shot over the course of ten years, the story revolves around 16-year-old Alice who becomes a mother to Aristo, a child conceived out of her deep affection for Dorian, despite their remarkable 35-year age difference. However, their trajectories quickly separate, compelling Alice to make the heart-wrenching choice of parting ways with both Dorian and Aristo. Confronted with feelings of fear and isolation, Alice seeks refuge and solace by expressing herself through painting, with a video chat camera as her witness. In this process, she not only finds comfort but also rediscovers love. Mirroring the actions of her own parents, Alice sporadically appears in Aristo’s life throughout the years, following a similar pattern.
