Description:

A mechanical hare causes a great commotion in the city by obeying his natural animal instincts. Based on the story by Estonian writer and poet Jaan Kaplinski.

In one of the large cities, scientists have created an unusual robot - a mechanical hare - to study wildlife. Scientists planned to settle him in a real forest and endowed him with many of the features of an ordinary forest hare. But the mechanical hare only vaguely resembled its forest prototype. It is noticeably made of various kinds of gears, wheels, levers, drives and motors. He was made stronger and larger than a normal hare to increase his vitality in natural conditions. But in some ways they were both similar: the robot really just wanted to frolic, jump and play - just like a real one! The laboratory seemed to him a very boring place for this activity. And as soon as the opportunity presented itself, the mechanical hare jumped out the window and found himself alone in a big city - in a place for which he was absolutely unsuited to exist. His unexpected arrival caused real chaos in the city...

Wordless except for the sign at 6:35 that says "ZOO".
