| Named after genetically modified fluorescent rabbits, this is a kaleidoscopic mix of fiction, documentary, diary notes and internet videos. The filmmaker and his protagonist wonder what biotechnology, cosmetic surgery, surveillance, avatars, extreme piercings and new religion can mean to us. A girl who is harshly bullied at school cuts open frogs, experiments with her mother's goldfish and even administers thallium to her mother! |
