About the Film
A late-blooming pre-adolescent girl finds a brutally wounded rabbit on the side of the road. She rushes home to find supplies to help it and as she does so, another girl from the neighbourhood takes it. She follows the younger girl and witnesses her feeble attempts at saving the rabbit from death and finds her own perspective on mortality challenged in the process.
