Lana Bastašić charmingly narrated Catch the Rabbit to highlight the life of Yugoslavians in Bosnia during the war with Herzegovina between 1992 and 1995. After 12 years of leaving Bosnia to Ireland, Sara received a sudden phone call from her school friend, Lejla, who shut Sara off during college. Lejla asked Sara to meet her in Mostar (in Bosnia and Herzegovina) and take her to Vienna to find her brother, Armin who was lost during the war. It is a story about the life of children during wars and the associated traumas, friendship, betrayal, memories, and fulfillment of a promise.
