Rabbit is an artist. But he's also a gambler. He owes Mr. Papadopolus 56,000 Pounds. Rabbit has to come up with the money. Unfortunately, he hasn't got it. He's broke. What's more, he's a fantasist. He hasn't sold a single painting. So when gangsters Bland and Lundt pay Rabbit a visit, Rabbit must hand over the cash or hand over his life. There's only one thing going for him...Bland thinks Rabbit has talent. Bland is impressed, especially by a painting that remains unfinished in the living room. Will Rabbit survive? Will the painting ever be completed? In this sharp drama only one thing is certain: the comedy is always edged with black, the menace forever veering towards the absurd.
