“Yes, I felt a very strong connection with Sophie from the beginning and I felt that we have a lot in common.

“He was an interesting character. I had to see many performances from director David Lynch's films, which were artistic references to Sigal Avin like Hitchcock's and also helped me to realize what Sigal's world is like and what I wanted to see, from the character, in the miniseries ”.

“My inspiration and the first image that was the first that I had in my head was the train scene, which is the meeting between Alice and Sophie. The meeting between an older woman and a young woman ”, confessed the writer.
“It was like a kind of exploration and that's where the obsession begins. I wrote it and this scene led me to write the rest of the miniseries. I was interested in what these two women could get from each other and what happens to them during this encounter throughout history, ”she said.

The series is set in Israel where it follows Alice (Ayelet Zurer), a 48-year-old film director, who feels irrelevant since she stepped back to start a family, while her husband, David (Gal Toren) is in the prime of his burgeoning acting career.
After a brief encounter on the train, Alice becomes obsessed with a fatal woman, a young screenwriter Sophie (Lihi Kornowski), and her haunting film starring David. When Alice is asked to lead the project, she enters an unconventional love triangle, eventually giving up her moral integrity to achieve power, relevance, and success.
Through the prism of this feminine Faust, the series explores themes such as jealousy, guilt, fear of aging, and the complex relationships women have with each other. But most of all, "Losing Alice" is a love letter to the women who sit in the director's chair, a position still very rare in the industry.
