In the small, sleepy Mediterranean town of Umag, the unusual appearance of a bear in the midst of wild asparagus season sparks a conflict, dividing the community into skeptics and those who believe the bear truly exists. Following a small local event that spirals wildly out of proportion, the film explores the blurry lines between truth and lies in the age of social media. With this film the author doesn't aim to offer big answers about truths and lies. It is exploring a dynamics of a small evnet in a small town, followed by hundreds of small stories.
