A 1974 German film, Alice in the Cities, comes to the screen at Bahrain Cinema Club tonight, at 7pm.
The story follows German journalist Philip Winter who has a case of writer’s block when trying to write an article about the US.
He decides to return to Germany and while trying to book a flight encounters a German woman and her nine-year-old daughter Alice doing the same.
The three become friends and while the mother asks Winter to mind Alice temporarily, it quickly becomes apparent that Alice will be his responsibility for longer than he expected.
After returning to Europe, the innocent friendship between Winter and Alice grows as they travel together through various European cities on a quest for Alice’s grandmother.
