In a world abandoned by men, a mechanical monk pursues a strange little red man. After having crossed woods, dead cities and desolate lands, the two amusing characters arrive at the top of a magical hill. The finding of an old teddy bear will allow them to escape the emptiness that surrounds them. I racconti dell'orso is a low budget project, developing out of a project to make a film with only two people during a journey through Finland and Norway lasting forty days. Samuele Sestieri and Olmo Amato handled all the tasks necessary for filming, from production and direction to the photography and acting.
