Our film is told from the perspective of Louise, whose brother has taken his own life. She retells this tragedy through a book she writes, in which begins with a fable about two rabbit children living in an unhappy environment with abusive wolf parents. As a result, the rabbit boy’s feelings of unworthiness, forsakenness, and sadness grow until he decides to end his own life on the train tracks. The second part transitions to reality–out of that fable-styled world. Here, we see the sister walking towards the train tracks where her brother passed away. Louise opens her brother’s treasured music box, which sparks her imagination and conjures his soul, allowing her to be able to address him about all of the things she wished he’d known when he was alive about the sheer miraculousness and wonders of human existence/life. At the end, Louise is shown holding a letter signifying that the narration during this sequence is her response to what he wrote. Then, this whole story takes a twist and reveals to be a book that the sister wrote about 1. the tragic loss resulting from hopelessness of life 2. the reminder of pure goodness in the midst of despair. Wishing the lost people to benefit from this message, she goes to an orphanage and places the book in the book donation box.
