Overview

On a hot summer day, a man dressed in a bear mascot costume hands out leaflets on the street among the many disinterested passersby. Exhausted from the heat, he sees a girl in a rabbit mascot costume. He strikes up a conversation and gives her his phone number.

Review

One of the powers of films is that they can show old scenery in detail that is now changed. The people we see in the ancient landscape that now disappeared are somewhat different from now. In that sense, all films are documentaries. Rabbits and Bears also has such power of a record. It can bring us back to Myeongdong in the mid-2000s and to the slow-paced aesthetic of Minihompy.
