How do you build a new life if you are born without opportunities? How do you imagine another life, break the circle of violence and embrace, in spite of everything, your own future after all?

‘Alis’ is not a happy film, although the gut-wrenching testimonies alter with poetic images of the girls’ daily lives. Fun, music and dance are inextricably a part of this. Hope for a better life breaks through the dark clouds. ‘Alis’ is an original documentary which upgrades film to therapy.
