Synopsis

A young woman named Alice, ostracized for her unusual appearance, finds solace and a strange sense of belonging among the performers of a traveling carnival. As she navigates this new world, Alice grapples with her own identity and the blurred lines between beauty and monstrosity. The story delves into the nature of perception and the human desire for acceptance in a world that often fears what it doesn't understand.
