The protagonist of the film is an elderly bear, a craftsman who makes handmade mechanical music boxes. Mr. Xiong rides his bicycle to the streets every day and uses the music box performance box he made to show children stories.
One day, a small audience came to his small theater, and then the story of "play within play" began:
The happy family of three lived a peaceful life, but this life was suddenly broken by a group of "devils" who searched for prey everywhere and took them to the circus to perform. The father bear in the story was taken to the circus to protect the mother bear and the cubs. Soon, Papa Bear was forced to perform acrobatics, had no freedom, and was abused. Missing his family, Daddy Bear tries to escape, but fails again and again. Until one day, an excellent escape plan came, and Dad Bear was going to perform a show called "Flying over the Herd". During the performance, Daddy Bear increased his horsepower, jumped up, and finally broke out of the cage and regained his freedom! After that, he kept running wildly, in order to ask him to hunt down, and to see his family as soon as possible. However, when he got home, the house was a mess, and his wife and children didn't know where they had gone. Father Bear was very sad, but a miracle happened, Mother Bear and Baby Bear returned to him, and the family was reunited.
At the end of the story, the small audience happily returned to their families.
At this moment, Mr. Xiong opened his pocket watch, and there was a family portrait there.
It turned out that the story was Mr. Xiong's story. The difference is that the father bear family in the story is reunited, but Mr. Xiong outside the story is alone.
At six o'clock in the morning, Mr. Xiong was still working. Obviously, he had not slept all night; there was no one in the room except Mr. Xiong; in Baby Bear's room, there was only a teddy bear on the bed, which probably represented his thoughts for the child; When Mr. Xiong was eating breakfast, there were two bear dolls on the table. He probably wanted to replace the family members who were not around, so that he would not be alone...
But I still hold a good hope - Mother Bear and Baby Bear will come back to Mr. Bear one day, Mr. Bear will no longer be alone ❤
