The Death of Bunny Munro
Following the death of Bunny Munro’s wife, Libby, the sex-addicted door-to-door beauty salesman and self-professed lothario (Matt Smith), finds himself saddled with his young son, Bunny Junior, and only a loose concept of parenting. As the two struggle to contain their grief in wildly different ways, Bunny takes Junior on the road for an increasingly out-of-control door-to-door sales tour around Brighton and the surrounding coast.
