This atypical documentary could easily begin with ‘Once upon a time…’. The rabbits near the Berlin Wall, more precisely, between the two walls, lived a happy and comfortable life, with luxuriant grass, sheltered from any dangers or wild enemies. But when they started to multiply uncontrollably, the guardians moved them. However, the rabbits survived there for 28 years, until one day the wall was struck down and the animals ran away, frightened by the new world they were thrown into and dazed by so much space and liberty. Any resemblance to real persons or events is not purely coincidental.
