A little, delicate home video which turns into a dream of horror when the little protagonist Alice goes to sleep. There is the father who eats the daughter and then sheds crocodile tears and the daughter who kills him in the end with the help of her little cousin. The dreams of a little girl, or al least the dreams that the father thinks are hers!
