Alice's House

When Alice, a São Paulo manicurist, wife and mother, has a chance meeting with an old flame, she is forced to re-examine her life and address her romantic dreams. Feeling her youth and sexuality slipping away, Alice flirts with a rapturous affair to escape her repressive family life and avoid the fate of her aging mother who drags out her remaining years as the house-maid. Award-winning documentarian Teixeira silently immerses his camera in Alice's household, recording day-to-day minutiae and scorching passion with equal weight and no judgment.
