Shaped by cardboard models and rudimentary stop-motion techniques, this early work bears the amateur yet intriguing mark of Lars von Trier’s years before he added that famous suffix to his last name. Straddling the boundaries of the animation and adventure genres, this short film brings to the screen—with its own unique, raw aesthetic—the story of a sausage with superpowers attempting to rescue a rabbit. This rare gem, created by untrained hands, contains the first sparks of the fantastical and grotesque universe that would later emerge from the mind of the future provocative filmmaker.
