Similar in subject to and perhaps inspired by the novel Through The Looking Glass, the film centers around an encounter between a girl named Olya Yukina and a mysterious counterpart, Yalo, while staring into a mirror. The characters are exact opposites: Yalo is the absolute opposite of Olya in every way. Where Yalo is organized and precise, Olya is careless and absent-minded. In the story, Olya steps through the mirror into the Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors where Yalo resides. The kingdom, under the rule of King Yagupop LXXVII (reverse of Popugay, meaning parrot) produces crooked mirrors that brainwash its people through subtle changes in reality. When Yalo's friend, a man named Gurd, is suddenly imprisoned for refusing to make crooked mirrors by the evil leaders "Anidag" (reverse of Gadina, meaning snake), "Nushrok" (reverse of Korshun, meaning Kite (bird)) and "Abazh" (reverse of Zhaba, meaning toad), Olya decides to accompany Yalo to rescue him.

Alice appears to be in her own bedroom, when a taxidermically stuffed rabbit comes to life and breaks out of its glass case. Alice follows the rabbit through the drawer of a desk into a cavern. She subsequently falls through a bucket and seemingly down an elevator shaft. Wonderland itself is a mix of drab household-like areas with incongruous relationships of space and size. The Queen's execution sentences are carried out by the White Rabbit with a pair of scissors. At the film's end, Alice wakes in her room, discovers that the rabbit is still missing from his glass case, and finds a secret compartment where he keeps scissors. She ponders whether or not she will cut his head off. The film is ambiguous about whether this room is Alice's real world or "Wonderland".

L'intrigue se déroule dans un pays imaginaire appelé la République Très Démocratique de Chez Nous. Tout commence le jour où le Président met en oeuvre un programme appelé le « Retour à la Terre des diplômés sans emplois stables » : on distribue aux diplômés sans emplois des parcelles de forêts à exploiter, en leur promettant des subventions. Mais trois ans après, ils n'en ont toujours reçu aucune. Un jeune diplômé devenu chasseur, qui exploite une parcelle avec sa femme en élevant leur bébé, voit sa vie bouleversée quand il reçoit la visite d'un envoyé du gouvernement, qui lui apprend que les parcelles ont été cédées à une multinationale qui va les gérer à sa façon. Le couple reçoit les conseils d'esprits surnaturels qui s'adressent indépendamment au chasseur et à sa femme. Le chasseur se retrouve propulsé sur une étrange planète où des lutins facétieux s'adressent à lui. Le couple décide alors d'émigrer pour échapper à ce système prédateur : ils traversent clandestinement la mer vers le Nord.
