The story behind the film

“Collaborating with PEGGY on the video for ‘Alice,’ she told me the song was about maladaptive daydreaming, a psychological condition where daydreams overtake a person’s reality. It’s a form of dissociation where one spends hours living in an imagined world complete with recurring characters and storylines that can continue for years. The real world often pales by comparison, so the temptation to spend time daydreaming grows stronger over time. PEGGY and I worked together to create a narrative inspired by this condition, following a character who delves into her daydream, perhaps too deeply.” – Ben Phillippo, Director
