Seven-year-old Rose is not sure what to make of things when she discovers that her pet rabbit isn’t moving one day. At first she thinks he may be ill or asleep, but her older brother dispels any such notions by proclaiming Mr. Pink dead. What follows is a journey into Rose’s imagination as she conjures up a macabre fantasy about life after death. Mr. Pink is put through a series of scenarios until Rose is finally able to say goodbye and together, the children give him a spectacular send off.
