About the film

In the world abandoned by humans, a mechanic follows a little red man. They cross forests, died-out cities and desolate plains, until they reach the top of the magic mountain. Here they find a torn teddy bear and join forces to bring him back to life. Maybe, if they manage to do it, this world would not seem that empty and desperate, and they would find peace?

This film, which has the subject of friendship in focus, is accessible to all age groups: from the youngest of our viewers, to adults.
