John Finch is an uptight animator working on Disney’s Alice and Wonderland, who also happens to be in love with his secretary – Alice. Alice is young woman who knows she wants something more from life. When Salvador Dali arrives at the studio to create his own animated short, he turns both of their lives into a tornado mixture of Surrealism and Wonderland!
