SYNOPSIS

Alley Between the Houses tells the tale of three sisters who visit their childhood home. In this house, time appears to have come to a standstill and old memories come haunting back. Long-buried childhood fantasies emerge as Hera, Shani and Zera encounter the Butterfly Boy who lives in the alley, and their nanny, Dai Maa, who now lives in the mango tree. What do they remember? What have they forgotten? What is long gone? And what stays? The sisters are forced to face their decaying relationships with the house and each other.
