Synopsis

A rabbit man wanders into a windswept city where labels rain and dance through the air. Irritated, he walks down the main street with an umbrella until a man in a car, his guide, approaches him and takes him to a hotel. Inside, labelled, faceless men strut about. The hotel manager places a label on the rabbit man, seemingly granting him permission, before the guide leads him through a corridor to his room.
