Alice is very confident about things improving. The two girls rent an apartment to live in and a boutique to sell jewellery. But the Christmas atmosphere makes them become homesick and think about going back home. Alice´s moods swing between optimism and deep depressions. Sometimes she dreams about returning home and live her life the way when she was fourteen. She feels lonely and heartbroken. It seems as if she is wasting her life away. The only ray of hope is Christmas, then she´ll be at home again.
Alice is a very moody person but usually her moods are linked with her current boyfriends. This is the first time she decides for her own. She isn´t a weak-willed robot any more. It seems as if she knows what she´s doing, as if she was having concrete imagines about her future. She doesn´t want to waste her life any more, she has already done too many mistakes in the past. Now she wants to start to lead a normal life again and forget her drug-taking. Well, she has become older and perhaps more intelligent and confident.
