Drama Science Fiction Thriller
In a daring leap through a wormhole, Alice lands in a twisted mirror of the near past—a world where the Cold War ended differently and conformity reigns over personal freedom. There, she meets alternate versions of herself and her lab partner, Bob, each shaped by choices she never made. Stranded in this collectivist reality, Alice must face the road not taken, wrestling with deep questions about who she is, what she’s meant to do, and whether her own life holds any purpose at all.

More About This Film

The Alice Paradox is a British science-fiction drama about Alice, a brilliant young physicist who uses a wormhole capable of sending her through time. Her experiment leads her into an alternate version of the recent past, where she encounters different versions of herself and her laboratory partner, Bob.

The alternate world is shaped by a very different outcome of the Cold War and places collectivism above individuality. As Alice tries to understand the reality around her, the film uses the science-fiction premise to explore identity, fate, personal choices, and the philosophical questions raised by the idea of multiple possible worlds.
