Synopsis:
On a hot spring day, Alice leaps from a stifling photographer's studio into Wonderland, a world where cakes talk, cats smoke, and little girls change size. In Part Two, she tries to repeat the adventure by stepping Through the Looking Glass. Alice's second journey is more inversion than fantasy, a place of fleeting memories and mismatched childhood dreams. An invigorating race through the brain of a curious girl, based on Lewis Carroll's Alice books.

Synopsis:
In this violent fairy tale, two cloistered sisters discover new appetites. GUM takes place in a fictional fundamentalist country, inspired by a true scandal in which young Egyptian women were rumored to have had sex with boys in cars. The explanation? Tainted gum, part of a foreign plot to undermine the virtue of traditional girls. Too outrageous to be real, too terrifying to be anything else, GUM depicts the glee and the horror of sexual awakening in a fiercely restrictive culture. Explicit sexual content.
