A young girl named Alice grows bored on a riverbank and follows a hurrying White Rabbit down a rabbit hole. She lands in a strange underground world where size, time and common sense no longer behave as they should. Along the way she meets figures such as the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts, who speak in riddles and rules that seem logical but make no sense.
