Reclusive writer and photographer Charles
Dodgson (also known as "Lewis Carroll") invites
celebrity author Charles Dickens to his Oxford
home to pose for a portrait. Dickens is so intrigued
by the whimsical Alice's Adventures in
Wonderland that he accepts.
What ensues is a baring of two creative souls, the
one private and fastidious, the other boisterous
and irreverent. As Dodgson struggles to capture a
"perfect likeness" of Dickens, Dickens craftily
pries into Dodgson's personal life to get a handle
on one of the most curious men he has ever met.
The result is a hilarious and revealing conversation
between two quirky, fascinating, and completely
different men.
