Like an Orphan Sock
Roxane Lumeret

A hilarious feminist tale with pink rabbits as characters.  

Since his wife disappeared in a sinking, the Rabbit is lonely and tearful. He has put portraits of his dear Doe everywhere in the house, but with time they start to yellow and fade. To keep intact the image of his loved one, the Rabbit sees only one solution: to find a double and photograph her! Here starts a fanciful casting, where Rabbit auditions a Singer and an Accountant, but also a Pipistrelle-Dentist, a Museum-Skeleton-Dust-Remover and a Rice-Grain-Sorter. Stupidly demanding, the Rabbit refuses all of them and treats them badly, to say the least… but an underground revolt is brewing!

An unexpected romantic twist makes for a happy ending promoting second chance for everyone.
