Plot Synopsis:
It’s Bambi meets Apocalypse Now in this provocative and darkly beautiful horror comedy from Alberto Vázquez (Birdboy: The Forgotten Children), who uses its outrageous premise to explore religious zealotry, military fascism, and the depths of the soul.
For ages, teddy bears have been locked in an ancestral war against their sworn enemy, the unicorns, with the promise that victory will complete the prophecy and usher in a new era. Aggressive, confident teddy bear Bluet and his sensitive, withdrawn brother Tubby could not be more different. As the rigors and humiliation of teddy bear bootcamp turn to the psychedelic horrors of a combat tour in the Magic Forest, their complicated history and increasingly strained relationship will come to determine the fate of the entire war.
