Andr T chin 's Alice and Martin is Greek tragedy in modern dress.
Martin moves in and soon falls into a career as a male model.
Eventually, he begins an affair with Alice. A trip to Granada with Alice brings on a realization about his father so profoundly shocking to Martin that it nearly destroys him. Martin's entire adolescence is skipped, for instance, and we don't learn why Martin left home until a flashback well into the second hour. The film eschews the dissolves or fades between scenes which serve in most films to note the passage of time. T chin prefers dialogue to action.
