“He loved the child we will never forget...”

DramaFantasy

80-year-old Alice Hargreaves is about to visit Columbia University to attend a reception in honour of author Lewis Carroll. As a child, Alice's close friendship with the writer was the creative catalyst for Carroll's most beloved work. However, as Alice reflects on her experiences with the author, she slowly realises the complexity of their bond has had lasting, deeply felt ramifications.

VIBE

A tender, bittersweet journey into the past. It feels like revisiting faded photographs, where childhood wonder collides with the quiet ache of adult memory. A gentle, reflective experience tinged with the magic of imagination.
