Thirteen-year-old Alpha is a wild teenager who lives alone with her mother. A tattoo she impulsively gets while under the influence turns her life upside down. A new virus is spreading, and because of the wound, Alpha is seen by others as a potential threat. Julia Ducournau is one of the most extraordinary and visionary filmmakers in France. After «Titane», which won the Palme d’Or at Cannes in 2021, she returns to the festival with «Alpha». The film is uncompromising, direct, and multilayered, with outstanding performances by Tahar Rahim, Golshifteh Farahani, and Mélissa Boros.
