Alpha (2025)

Alpha is a thirteen-year-old girl who lives with her mother. Their fragile balance collapses when Alpha returns from school one day with a tattoo on her arm. This seemingly small act triggers a chain of events that reveals fears, family memories, and tensions across generations. The film by Julia Ducournau, winner of the Palme d'Or for Titan, was screened in the official competition at the Cannes Film Festival. This intimate and physically intense drama about growing up, love, and coping with loss once again confirms the director's radical and provocative auteur style.
