Watching: Alpha

Overview

Five boys live their lives hiding behind a mask of hatred and violence. Behind this facade, however, lies a great fragility crushed by the burden of always having to appear big and strong. The main character, Edo, however, has different origins and dreams from the rest of his group, and this begins to make him doubt his life choices. In fact, he himself will be the fuse that will bring down the big castle that he, along with his friends, have built. A journey into male identity animated by a deep and penetrating reflection on the hidden fragility of the individual, who dams up his own anxieties with a mask of masculinity and superiority.
