Avantia Damberg had a job as an office manager at a dutch company at Sloterdijk, Amsterdam. At her first day she got a huge office, that even the director didn´t have. There was in a corner of the big office a giant teddybear. When she asked what was the story about the teddy bear the co-workers said they already found the bear when the rented the building. So nobody knew... It was a mystery.
One day Avantia met Noemi Mena and they became friends. Noemi once visited Avantia and they were sitting in her room watching a movie. Suddenly Noemi looked up and saw a teddy bear sitting on top of a closet, that big it´s head was touching the ceiling. One of the reasons it suprised her even more that the day before she had a conversation about when prey animals are made small and stuffed, they become cute. Normally you would be afraid of a bear, but a teddy bear you want to hug.
Avantia then told her the day she took the teddy bear home, how everybody was smiling and laughing with her. And that made her smile too. There she went, a woman made small by this huge teddybear she was carrying. It took two passenger seat spaces in the train and metro.
This was when the idea for a film was born.
