Program Note
Alicia, a girl who suddenly loses her sight, claims that a strange old woman is in her room, but her mother doesn't believe her. This short film, which begins with a quote from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, depicts the moment when a fairy tale turns into a nightmare. It features elements such as a girl connected to a world of lions and a stuffed rabbit doll with its eyes covered by cloth. Though brief, this short film exudes the atmosphere of traditional horror.
