Synopsis:
RABBIT
HOLE is a vivid, hopeful, honest and unexpectedly
witty portrait of a family searching for what remains
possible in the most impossible of all situations--the loss
of a child.
Becca and Howie Corbett are returning to their everyday
existence in the wake of that shocking, sudden loss. Just
eight months ago, they were a happy suburban family with
everything they wanted. Now, they are caught in a maze of
memory, longing, guilt, recrimination, sarcasm and tightly
controlled rage from which they cannot escape. While Becca
finds pain in the familiar, Howie finds comfort.
The shifts come in abrupt, unforeseen moments. Becca
hesitantly opens up to her opinionated, loving mother and
secretly reaches out to the teenager involved in the
accident that changed everything, while Howie lashes out and
imagines solace with another woman .Yet, as off track as
they are, the couple keeps trying to find their way back to
a life that still holds the potential for beauty, laughter
and happiness. The resulting journey is an intimate glimpse
into two people learning to re-engage with each other and a
world that has been tilted off its axis.
