Premise

The film follows Alice (Saskia Axten) a young student who stumbles into a bizarre version of London after her night with a newfound lover, Rabbit (Elijah Rowen) appears to suddenly have never happened. The night in question just happens to be the evening of the UK's 2016 referendum on EU membership.

The film itself perodically shifts to different layers of narrative, from the Alice in Wonderland adapting narrative of Alice's search for Rabbit in an upside-down version of London, to a satirical "real world" sanario, showing philosophers and the "director" (played by Adam Donen) reacting to the film they are planning.

Early Festival apperances

The film had its World Premiere on the 25th of November at the 2021 PÖFF Film Festival, Tallinn, Estonia as part of the First Features strand.[6] It subsequently was featured in the 2022 International Fuse Festival lineup.[7] Further in 2022, after a UK premiere at London Rocks Festival,[8] the film featured at Liverpool Film Festival,[9] and North East International Film Festival[10] in October and November respectively. In March 2023, it was screened at the Idyllwild International Festival Of Cinema in California.[11]
