In every house, you never know what secrets lie behind the front door...

ALICE'S HOUSE, the highly-decorated Brazilian drama, is now available on IndiePix from our partners, FiGa films!

When Alice, a Sao 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. In her quest for happiness she must overcome the obstacles set by the male dominated world she feels trapped in, and navigate the dangerous terrain of the heart. Filled with profound insights about family, relationships and trust, ALICE'S HOUSE is a brazenly honest portrait of life in Brazil, one rarely seen in America.
