Synopsis
Alice is poised to fly, a young girl on the threshold of womanhood. But her wings have been clipped. She is trapped. She hovers in childhood, denies her heart and appetite, holds back from the chance to soar. Her life descends into black and white until she finds the courage to lift herself into a world of colour.
