The story follows a teenager whose father steals a rabbit at a carnival to impress him, and subsequently has to try to get all three of them home.

Production

Walden was inspired to write the script, after hearing her grandfather tell the story about a road trip he had gone on with his own father as a kid. In the story, her grandfather was given a little orange tree, during a father-son road trip on the way back from Disney World, his dad started drinking heavily, which led him to accidentally destroy his son's tree.

Walden described the four-day low-budget production as "very flexible", with the short being shot on 16mm Kodak. Walden's wanted it to be done on film, because she had interest in capturing, "the memory of this event or evoking this kind of feeling that this is a retelling of an early experience of trauma as a child." Everything in the film was improvised, she recalled: "It was a lot of rehearsal. There’s no written dialogue".
