“Alice’s Diary is a short animated film that explores caregiving, routine, aging and loss.”
Synopsis: Alice, who cares for her mother and the household, logs her daily tasks in a diary. When her mother dies, there is a shift in Alice’s world, but almost immediately she resumes her routine. Displaying almost no emotion as she works, she continues her habit of recording her daily to-dos. Has a lifetime of caregiving robbed Alice of a sense of identity, or locked her into a pattern that she finds difficult to break? Is her return to routine an escape from grief or a passage through it?
