The programme takes a look at the world from the perspective of the rabbits, which in the course of Germany's division found a new home in the socalled !death strip' around West Berlin. Without any suspicion, they tell of a heavenly life in the midst of lush greenery and with virtually no enemies, wellprotected by an impenetrable wall. From their point of view the armed border guards of the NVA took personal responsibility for their welfare and safety. Over time the rabbits lost all shyness and became sluggish and lazy. Contrary to their nature, they stopped fighting to define the hierarchy and met the events around them almost with disinterest. But then one day the wall fell and the rabbits had to learn how to deal with the new freedom. An unusual documentary about rabbits and humans. For learning and laughter.
