It all began back in 1986 (curiously the year that this film's director was born, hailing from the ever-surprising land that produced the Kaurismäki brothers or Tero Pitkämäki). A half cuddly toy / half animal, giving its name to the short film, starts out on a criminal rampage characterised by its obsession for a very specific part of the body on its victims. This very day, four young Finns are daring to drive through the country's forests in the middle of the night, unaware of what's about to happen to them. They will soon find out all about Bunny's murderous rage, as nothing or no-one has been able to stop it satisfying its appetite for the last 25 years.
