Film Details

A teddy bear rides a bike, swings on a swing, talks on the phone to mom, goes to the therapist and on a date, but most of all he is touchingly sad. The filmmaker documents her depression in an experimental and creative movie in which she does a personality transference, borrowing the voice and emotions of an iconic childhood toy and putting it in the most human of situations. Touching on the theme of assisted euthanasia and with special attention to cut and detail, the movie attempts to answer the question – is life really worth living?
