About This Movie

Alice, the heartbroken protagonist, navigates the trials of teenage life, captured with a rawness that feels genuine. The pacing allows for moments of reflection, making each scene resonate.

It’s a quiet exploration of youthful emotions, not shying away from the complex layers of growing up.
