Film Description:
ALEX SÜD follows Mme Selina, a former elite task-force operative who disappeared from the world she once served after becoming a state witness in Germany. Years later, she lives quietly in Alexandra with her young daughter, determined to build a normal life far from the violence and secrets of her past. But when shadows from her old life resurface and threaten the only family she has left, Selina is forced back into survival mode. The story unfolds in a single continuous take, immersing the audience in her desperate race through the township as she confronts the ghosts she thought she had escaped. Blending raw emotion with relentless tension, ALEX SÜD is a powerful story about resilience, identity, and a mother’s determination to protect what matters most.
