“Like rabbits” is the second part of “Chronicles of bad luck”. The man with the fish head continues his melancholy stroll through a fun fair, randomly distributing, its bubbles of misfortune. As its title suggests, there is a lot of talk of rabbits, but don't let that make you forget the crows. And if you see in this movie, a sordid portrait of a badly barred humanity, your mind may have gone awry.

Badluck is a man with the head of a fish (this is a play on words in French between « poisse » – bad luck and « poisson » – fish). Bubbles of bad luck come out of his mouth. When one of the bubbles follows somebody, it throws a spell on that person. And the victim is sent into a tailspin of misery and bad luck where the worst that can possibly happen always does, right up until death, in the most incredible circumstances (but meaningless for the other protagonists) ends his or her cycle of bad luck. With dark, scathing irony, the “Badluck” Chronicles will allow you to have a great deal of fun at somebody else’s expense. And you won’t even feel guilty about it !
