Austrian Premiere
Alice and Barbara live with their mother in a village in the French department of Ardèche. Barbara is preparing for high school, while 18-year-old Alice has already finished school. She now wants to get her driver’s license and then look for a job. Time passes and Alice notices how her little sister is slowly growing up and is about to leave the idyllic home, while she herself is still not standing on her own two feet.
Camille Holtz, who has accompanied the sisters for many years, tells the relationship of these disparate sisters in ALICE + BARBARA with a dash of pop. A coming-of-age story, in which the seemingly mundane is punctiliously transformed into profundity.
