Film description

The film speaks about thousands of wild rabbits that lived in the Death Strip of the Berlin Wall.A strip of land between two walls seemed a perfect place for these animals - plenty of intact grass, predators were left behind the wall and there were guards to prevent any man from disturbing the rabbits' peace. They spent 28 years safely closed. But, unfortunately, one day the Wall suddenly collapsed and the rabbits had to search for a new place to live.
