Rabbit's Moon is an avant-garde short film by American filmmaker Kenneth Anger. Filmed in 1950, Rabbit's Moon was not completed (nor did it see release) until 1972. Anger re-released the film in 1979, sped up and with a different soundtrack.

Filmed under a blue filter and set within a wooded glade during the night, the plot revolves around a clown, Pierrot, his longing for the moon (in which a rabbit lives – a concept found in both Japanese folklore and Aztec mythology), and his futile attempts to jump up and catch it. Subsequently, another clown (Harlequin) appears and teases Pierrot, showing him Columbina, with whom he appears to fall in love.

Un jeune homme au cœur pur, partisan de la liberté d'esprit, est confronté à la pression sociale qui ordonne de s'enrichir a tout prix. Un groupe d'enfants aveugles tente d'ouvrir les yeux de non-croyants à la foi chrétienne. Des religieuses transforment leur couvent en maison close pour pouvoir en payer le loyer. Ce sont tous ces paradoxes qui transforment ce conte pour enfants en une fable philosophique.

The guards allow her to say farewell to her kinsmen.at the insistence of her cousin Mordechai, Hadassah changes her name to Esther, meaning "hidden", he also tells her to forget her name, but not to forget that she was a Jew. They are taken to the first harem, where they are placed and sorted under the custody of Chagai (Phil Davies), a royal eunuch in charge of the first harem , Esther finds a girl crying and comforts her. Chagai asks which nationality Esther is from ,her answer frustrates him and he sends her to be placed. after a length of time , after a lesson in royal etiquette , while everyone is busy preparing herself for the king, one of the girls tells Esther that when it is their time to go to the king they may ask for anything they want to take with them. Esther asks her new maid-servant, Mimouna (Natasha Williams)about what to expect from the king , and asks how it feels to make love to a man and Mimouna replies that it depends on the man. a few nights later , it is time for Esther to present herself to the king , mordechai gives some money to a eunuch , and we are shown how they prepare the royal bed chamber for the event. that night, at esther's first meeting with the king , achashverosh tests Esther about what she has learnt from the harem and life, then asks her name and unveils her. A rose falls. The king asks her if she picked it for the king and she answers no. The king then tells her she is different from the others and makes love to her. The next day after being brought to the Queens Chambers, in the second harem to be dressed like a queen , Esther is brought to the throne room and ceremonially crowned queen. a few nights later, Mordechai hears a plot that Bigtan and Teresh are planning against the king and reports to Esther.

Haman then goes to the king and tells him a lie about the Jews. The king believes him and gives him his signet ring which gives Haman the right to decree a rule that even the king cannot hold back. Haman sends a decree to all provinces that they should annihilate all Jews within their borders . At hearing this decree, Mordechai dresses himself in sackcloth and ashes and mourns outside the palace gates. Mimouna informs Esther and Esther orders her servant, Hatach (Cristopher Ettridge), to give Mordechai clothes. Mordechai refuses them. Esther orders Hatach to ask Mordechai what afflicts him. Mordechai gives the letter of decree to Esther and tells Esther to go before the king. Esther reads the letter and cries because it is forbidden to go before the king without being called.

The king asks her who would do such a thing. She exploits Haman. The king, enraged, goes to his garden. Haman asks Esther to spare his life. The king comes back and tells his guards to hang Haman and gets his signet ring. The king appoints Mordechai as his lord chamberlain. Mordechai then decrees that allow Jews to defend themselves.
