Our take

This short from master of deadpan and off-the-wall humor Benoît Forgeard stars a giant teddy bear as an abusive and tyrannical partner. Low-budget aesthetics and digital tricks contribute to the disturbing charm of this absurdist movie. Get ready to plunge into the universe of this UFO filmmaker!
