Alaska is a 2015 drama film written and directed by Claudio Cupellini and starring Elio Germano and Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey. It entered the competition at the Rome Film Festival.

"Alaska" is the name of a disco that opens the young Fausto, after a violent life, just released from prison. He is in love with Nadine, French girl who had a successful period in Milan as a model, but now she is broke. Fausto, opening the disco, put himself in company with Sandro, and business is good; but Nadine sees her relationship with Fausto destroyed and so betrays him, running away. Sandro then starts to bet, and so Fausto fires him. Sandro lost all the money and despair kills himself. Fausto then tries to mend the relationship with Nadine, even though he should marry a rich woman who runs a wild hotel chain. Nadine runs away angry, and one day, quarreling with his new employer, kills him, ending up in prison. Fausto now goes to visit every day, as a friend, waiting for the end of the sentence.
