A is For Alice

UnderGround Wednesday and the Mass Indie Film Festival partner for this month's screening of the World Premiere of A is for Alice (Italy) by Sharon Grace Badia!

What better way to kick off the Mass Indie Film Festival!

A is for Alice portrays a dystopian world very close to us where people hibernate every November and wake up in the spring. The protagonist, a nineteen-year-old boy named Stefano, is forced to face the period of hibernation in the isolated and creepy house of his stepmother, his father's new companion.

The young protagonist can't come to terms with his mother's death, and the fact that his father wants to move on. The absence of his mother figure awakens a strong fear of loneliness in him. His worst nightmare comes true when he discovers that he is the only human to have woken up too early from hibernation. Or at least, that's what he believes…
