Atroz (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. He 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.
Atroz treats, in a reality and animation mix, about classic issues present in children's tales.
