The sudden arrival of her apparently shell-shocked husband and a coterie of mysterious new servants raise Grace’s suspicions that there is more to the house than meets the eye.

Czech animator Jan Švankmajer's masterpiece, ingeniously combining animation with live action, remains true to the absurdity of Lewis Carroll's book but bears the distinctive stamp of Švankmajer's obsessions, bringing a Cold War strangeness to bear on this timeless tale of children and their far-from-canny daydreams.

Upon arrival, he finds the hospital under the dubious helm of Doctor Gotard, who claims his father’s death has not yet occurred because the the sanatorium lags indeterminately behind the world outside.
