Alice is a mother with a bustling household, a job in a beauty parlour, and a less-than-sympathetic husband. After 20 years of marriage, neither her husband, Lindomar, nor Alice expects reconciliation. Lindomar, a taxi
driver, saves his sexual impulses for affairs with teenage girls. Alice pretends his infidelities don’t exist. As Alice begins to explore her own sexual potential, the secrets of her nearest and dearest also begin to surface. Distinguished by its affectionate investment in its characters, Alice’s House is a pleasure to watch.
