Alpha

Description

Set in Le Havre in the early 1990s, Alpha follows the story of a 13-year-old girl who gets a large A tattooed on her arm during a party while intoxicated. Her mother, a doctor, is shocked upon discovering it, fearing her daughter might have contracted a deadly virus. Amidst a mysterious epidemic that turns infected individuals to stone, the family faces uncertainty and fear. The film, driven by powerful performances, delves into themes of transformation, societal rejection, and family bonds, presented in a calm, melancholic tone. Recognized for her bold storytelling, Julia Ducournau's latest work continues her exploration of the monstrous and the human condition.
