""Alphée has a rare genetic disorder [Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome] that hampers her development. Yet she continues to defy medical expectations. When her parents reject the idea of placing her in a specialized classroom, they move their family to Europe for a year. Here, her father {u2013} filmmaker Hugo Latulippe {u2013} focuses on his fairy-like daughter's learning, in hopes of eventually integrating her into a regular classroom. This film is a moving declaration of love from a father to his daughter. It is also the story of a gamble: stealing away for a year in order to try and change the course of events."--NFB.ca."
"Alphée est atteinte dune maladie génétique rare qui ralentit son développement. Et pourtant, comme un petit miracle gorgé damour, elle déjoue tous les pronostics médicaux. Quand, par intuition, les parents refusent son entrée dans une école spécialisée, toute la petite famille part sinstaller en Europe pendant une année. Son papa, le cinéaste Hugo Latulippe, en profite alors pour favoriser les apprentissages de sa petite fée. Émouvante déclaration damour dun père à sa fille, le film relève aussi dun pari, celui de voler un an à la vie et de renverser le cours des choses. Journal intime et conte initiatique, Alphée des étoiles met en scène un être hors du commun qui nous invite à traverser le miroir des apparences. Avec une patience attendrie, le cinéaste, qui croit en une école à dimension humaine et sans discrimination, bouscule nos certitudes et révèle le monde sous un jour inédit qui échappait jusquici à notre regard trop pressé."
"Alphée, cinq ans, fille du cinéaste Hugo Latulippe et de l'activiste altermondialiste Laure Waridel, est atteinte du syndrome de Smith-Lemli-Optiz, une maladie génétique extrêmement rare qui empêche son plein développement neurologique et musculaire. Hostiles à l'idée de la placer dans une école spécialisée, ses parents font au contraire le pari de l'exil en famille, dans un petit village des Alpes suisses, où ils s'établissent pendant un an, en compagnie d'Alphée et de son frère aîné, Colin. Profitant du charme bucolique des prés et montagnes avoisinants, le couple parvient à créer une bulle familiale à l'intérieur de laquelle Alphée apprend à évoluer à son rythme, sans pression ni jugement.
