AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'This drama tells the story of a middle class woman (Alice) who one day just disappears from her marriage. She has left the comfort of her life to work for social change, and has become part of a group called Fuck It All Up. The group's function is to disrupt public displays of capitalism with small acts of domestic terrorism. When she gets involved with a mysterious figure higher up in the socialist movement, the group careers towards a much more dangerous mission. Against this plot is the story of her ex-husband, a journalist who is preserving the ideas of a dying elder socialist statesman, cast out by the mainstream.'
