Summary:
Alpha is a 13-year-old girl who lives alone with her mother. Their world comes crashing down the day the young girl returns home with an A tattooed on her arm. A stimulating production that uses horror (both physical and metaphorical) to speak about the need to love and be loved. Featuring an extremely powerful cast, led by an unrecognizable Tahar Rahim and a chameleonic Golshifteh Farahani, Alpha explores new ways of speaking about family relationships and body modifications.
