Alicia

Summary

A funny feature film by Wim Verstappen with a moral, but little pretension.

However, there is a touch of feminism to the story of a young, married woman who, on a sudden impulse, leaves her home and family - a husband and two children - because she feels the need to prove herself somewhere and in some way. The film mainly depicts the male reactions to this impudent female ‘escape attempt’, which, according to Western morals, naturally has to fail without anyone getting really hurt.

As in many other Scorpio films, Alicia contains a number of explicit sex scenes. Fortunately, a liberal dose of humour is added without undermining the character portrayals.
