Alicia plot
Alicia is one year old when she is placed out of the house. Through a foster family she ends up in a children's home at the age of five and at the age of nine she is still there, awaiting placement with a new family. This is when the documentary Alicia begins. The film follows the girl's daily life for three years, in observational images filmed close to the skin. The desires and impotence of the young, homeless Alicia and the effect of a lack of perspective become palpable. Is the girl in danger of being derailed by the hopelessness or are we witnessing an inescapable history that repeats itself?
