Synopsis
Scared for their lives, Afshin, Alain and Patricia left their home countries, alone. As unaccompanied minors, they had to start over in Canada, in hopes of a better life. Mixing real-life footage and animated sequences, Alone is a tribute to resilience: how can children manage to reinvent themselves in a new country, after having left everything behind, even their parents?
