ALONE is a character-driven science fiction short about a 12-year-old girl forced to grow up too fast in a world she no longer recognizes, carrying more than she can share.

Set in the early days of first extraterrestrial contact, the film imagines what life looks like not at the moment of arrival, but in the quiet aftermath, when the extraordinary has begun to feel routine, systems are strained, and ordinary people are left to adapt. While an alien presence looms in the background, ALONE remains firmly rooted in the human experience, focusing on childhood interrupted, responsibility inherited, and the private ways people try to protect what matters most.

Rather than treating science fiction as spectacle, the film uses it as a lens to explore grief, adolescence, and the emotional cost of living in a world that has fundamentally shifted. ALONE asks what happens when growing up collides with history, and how much a child can carry before being seen.
