Thirteen-year-old Alpha, who lives with her single-parent mother, comes home from a party with an illegal tattoo. This seemingly insignificant situation turns her life upside down.

„Alpha” is the most personal and poignant film in the career of Cannes Palme d'Or winner for „Titane” Julia Ducournau. It's a subtle, though not genre-busting, portrait of a 13-year-old girl standing on the threshold of adulthood and her mother trying to navigate the changing relationship with her maturing child. Ducournau looks at the moment of transition between childhood and adulthood with remarkable courage and sensitivity. As a result, „Alpha” is a moving cinema about self-discovery, the limits of care and the need for autonomy - an emotional portrait of the mother-daughter relationship, told with empathy and extraordinary visual imagination.
