The film is about thousands of wild rabbits that lived comfortably for 28 years in the death zone beyond the Berlin Wall. It was a safe, well protected, green space where they could live safely. After the Wall was dismantled, they had to look for a new place. An East European history lesson from the rabbits' perspective.
