Following the thread of an omnipresent narrator, this hybrid film takes us to the dreamy Irish countryside, a setting opposed to the frenetic modern time. A charming parable that confronts us as humans.

The Rabbit And The Teasel. A tale in the dreamy Irish countryside
In a world where petty opinions, hysteria, commotion and emotion have become the norm and neo-liberal humanity is rapidly losing sight of the path to happiness, The Rabbit And The Teasel is a breath of fresh air.
Fiction and autobiographical elements mingle in a lyrical tale that drags the viewer into a universe of beauty, death, and decay. Author and director Els Dietvorst zooms in on the raw reality of a rainy year that drives the farmer to despair.
In a timeless setting on the Irish countryside, a contemporary parable unfolds, as enchanting as it is confronting.
