  (English)

Awful is a singular teddy bear, a worn and curmudgeon one, whose owner is Luna, a little girl who has taken him as her best friend. She doesn't stop harassing him with hugs, kisses and cuddles. Awful itself will tell us in first person all the misfortunes that he will have to live to flee from Luna's ceaseless petting, endearments and games. This short film treats, in a reality and animation blending, classic issues present in children's tales.

 (Spanish)

Atroz es un singular oso de peluche, deteriorado y cascarrabias, que tiene como dueña a Luna, una niña pequeña que ve en él su mejor amigo. Éste nos contará en primera persona todas sus desventuras para huir de las incesantes caricias, mimos y juegos de Luna. Atroz trata, en una mezcla de realidad y animación, los valores clásicos de los cuentos infantiles.
