Premiering at this year’s Sundance Film Festival on January 20, 2017, is the new short from director Teemu Niukkanen entitled Fucking Bunnies. Yes, that’s right! Fucking Bunnies. Check out the trailer and more right here.
“I enjoy comedy born from the collision between the everyday and the bizarre,” says Niukkanen, “those moments where social codes are pushed to their limits, almost to the breaking point. Our basic human need for normality is extremely strong, and I love to witness the struggle people are ready to go through just to maintain the status quo. This is the basis of my comedy.”
Synopsis:
Raimo is a middle-aged Finnish man living with his wife in the suburbs of Helsinki. His comfy middle-class bubble is burst when a Satan-worshipping sex cult moves in next door. However, the cult leader, Maki, is a very nice and considerate guy, always on the lookout for new friends. Being oblivious to Raimo’s subtle hints to keep his distance, he volunteers to be his squash partner. Trying to avoid sharing his squash slot with Maki, Raimo ends up living in a lie that gets him into trouble.
