Alpha. is a film about the changing nature of masculinity in our society. It slowly strips a father and son of their modern Western privileges, their technology, their personal grievances and their egos, leaving them naked in the face of nature. The film may start in the noisy and cluttered environment of a ski resort, but the story culminates on the silent, frozen and unforgiving snowfields and rock-faces of the high Alps.
The score has been created in the Swiss alps on modular synthesizer and organs, and features the majestic alphorn played by van der Woude’s aunt, Doris Stierlin Deslarzes.
