We reveal the origins of the Easter bunny, as a hare and a hen fall in love at a party in the woods, get married, and give birth to a special rabbit that lays eggs. We see him grow up in a loving environment, only to be mocked and bullied at school by other children, because he looks like a rabbit, but does something only chickens do: laying eggs. Feeling alone and outcast, he decides to run away and meets a human girl in the forest. He then takes the human world by storm and becomes a star, ultimately known as the easter bunny. Despite his fame and success, he feels lonely without his family. So he returns home on easter, as he realizes that nothing is compared to the warmth of family.

Literally everybody in Germany knows the easter bunny: a rabbit that brings colored eggs on easter and hides them in your garden. The weird thing is, though: nobody knows any background for this. Who is this bunny? Why does he do that? It’s a big part of German and European culture. And oddly enough, it’s been a mystery for many centuries. That’s why in our film we finally reveal the origin story of the easter bunny. A touching coming-of-age-piece that talks to children as much as it reaches adults – and the child in all of us.
