What happens
The Rabbit Man (Swedish: Kaninmannen) is a 1990 Swedish drama-psychological thriller directed by Stig Larsson, about a rapist whose father unknowingly investigates his crimes for a commercial television programme. The film sparked controversy because of its nude scenes and difficult subject, handled with an unconventional narrative style. The title refers to a nickname given by newspapers to a real rapist Larsson read about in the 1970s, who lured young girls into his apartment by telling them he was keeping rabbits there that he wanted to save from being exposed to animal testing. Börje Ahlstedt won the award for Best Actor for his part as the rapist's father at the 26th Guldbagge Awards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
