Alice sui pattini

Alice, whose name was taken from the main character in Lewis Carroll’s novel, is a girl who would do anything to get her hands on the seeds of a rare water lily and become an ice-skating champion. Tricked by a perfidious impresario, fashioned after the Mad Hatter, she signs the sales deed transferring ownership of her parent’s farmhouse in exchange for the magic seeds and the promise of an skating rink in the shopping mall to be built on the land sold. Luckily, this is merely a dream but it teaches Alice the value of the land and helps her to find an abandoned shed she has converted into an ice-skating rink.
