Frankie the Rabbit’s Final Preparations
Poland2026animated3'National competition
Franio the rabbit has been preparing for a long time for the day that is set to change everything. A lamp, stool and a new rope – every item is already in place and the protagonist’s meticulous plan seems to have been thought through down to the last detail. However, black humour steers this story in a direction where initial assumptions quickly lose their relevance. What has Franio really prepared and will he manage to achieve what matters so much to him? In this twisted tale, nothing necessarily is what the imagination suggests.
