Dobranocka · 1997

The protagonist of the film is a rabbit (hare), who experiences various adventures, meets strange people and strange situations. The film begins with a sequence of dreams, but the dream events are repeated in the real world and have their continuation. Everything ends well. This is how the plot looks like in a nutshell. But the mood and atmosphere of the film is difficult to verbalize, because it is assumed to be ambiguous, just as the painting of Stasys Eidrigevičius is ambiguous.
