Synopsis

A White Rabbit checks his watch. Alice follows—and tumbles out of an ordinary afternoon into a world that refuses to make sense.

A tiny door reveals a dazzling garden. A bottle makes her shrink; a cake makes her grow. Soon she is swimming through her own tears, arguing with animals, and wondering whether she is still the girl she was that morning.

The Caterpillar demands to know who she is. The Cheshire Cat vanishes, leaving only its grin. At the Hatter's table, the March Hare argues and the Dormouse dozes through a tea party where it is always six o'clock. Beyond it lies the Queen of Hearts' garden: roses are painted red, flamingos become mallets, and every displeasure brings a cry for someone's head.

A trial over stolen tarts turns nonsense into law. Witnesses babble; the Queen demands sentence before verdict. Called to give evidence, Alice finds her patience running out. In a world where nothing stays the same, can one girl trust herself enough to speak up?
