Thirteen-year-old Alpha lives with her single mother and is well into puberty. When she comes home from a party with a tattoo, all hell breaks loose. Her mother fears that Alpha has been infected by a dirty needle with a virus that no one wants to talk about, but everyone is terrified of.
With Alpha, Palme d'Or winner Julia Ducournau (Raw, Titane) explores themes of fear, loss, and coming of age in a gripping and visually powerful family drama. With her uncompromising style, she builds on her reputation as one of the most daring and original female voices in contemporary cinema.
