Rabbit a la Berlin/Mauerhase, Poland - Germany (PL-DE) 2009, colour, 52 min.

dir Bartek Konopka

Story about thousands of wild rabbits, which inhabited Berlin Wall’s death zone. For 28 years they lived there locked, but safe. Unfortunately, one day the wall fall down and rabbits had to find new place for themselves. Film is an allegory familiarizing Eastern Europe’s history from the “rabbit” perspective.
