70th Anniversary of the 1951 Refugee Convention. A collaboration between Locarno Film Festival and UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency

The story of a gossip-ridden, violent neighborhood. A young hustler will stop at nothing to be with his secret lover, but her merciless mother won’t have it. When an extortionist catches the couple in the act, the mother asks a gangster to stop it all… things don’t go as planned.

Reputation is currency in the world of The Alleys. The film explores how people hide secrets, tell lies and put on masks to survive society’s gossip and scrutiny.
