Synopses:
The stories of Lewis Carroll, juvenile literary classics, are the starting point of this text, even for those who are not acquainted with Alice in Wonderland or Through the Mirror. Lino’s Alice is Brazilian and she discovers in the underground world of Sao Paulo’s subway system her whole new land. Deepening in the mysteries of adolescence, she feels her body growing but, she shrinks with her doubts and fears. The mirror is the door she crosses to penetrates the world of grown women. Woman-child, her language is, as much as possible in her imagination, of the "nonsense". Simultaneously, she lives a real adventure, where there is plenty of suspense, humor and a charming love revelation.
