A darkly surreal comedy that uses the grotesque image of a human fence to explore the unsettling absurdity lurking beneath suburban domesticity.

Frank visits his friend Josef, who introduces him to his pedigree rabbits and his wife Mary. Frank is more interested in the slightly unsettling fact that Josef and Mary's garden fence is entirely made up of living people holding hands.
