Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Alps (or Alpeis, its transliterated Greek title) is a 2011 Greek drama film directed by Yorgos Lanthimos (of Attenberg and Dogtooth fame) and starring frequent Lanthimos collaborators Aggeliki Papoulia and Ariane Labed.In an unnamed Greek town, four people - an ambulance driver, a nurse, a gymnast, and a gymnastics coach - form an organization called the Alps, where, for a considerable fee, they will impersonate the dead as a way of offering closure to the bereaved. However, things start to go off the rails when the nurse, who calls herself Monte Rosa, becomes obsessed with her latest role - a teenage tennis player - and then finds out that the role has been recast.

Ambiguous Situation: This being a Yorgos Lanthimos film, very little is made clear about what's going on.

Driven to Suicide: Towards the middle of the film, Gymnast tries to kill herself after Matterhorn refuses to let her train to pop music. Luckily, Monte Rosa intervenes.

Only Known by Their Nickname: Most of the cast are only referred to by their nicknames, like Monte Rosa or Matterhorn. One character is only known as Gymnast.

Creepy Monotone: All the characters speak in a monotone. Becomes particularly jarring in one scene where Monte Rosa lets a client perform oral sex on her and yet still sounds bored.
