Mom: where do you come from? - Uzbear Vlog

The film deals with the journey and adventures of a teddy bear, Uzbear, in Central Asia, halfway between reality and fantasy. The inspiration for the film comes from the question of my 3-year-old daughter, Petra, to her mother. The bear travels from West to East, from the past to the present. In the first part the bear travels to the lands of Khwarezmia and Timur's golden age of Central Asia. In the second part we move on to the Soviet past represented by cotton and trucks. Finally in the last part we arrive at modern Uzbekistan, with its culture and its food. Metaphorically it is also a journey of Artificial Intelligence towards its most remote origins, namely those of Ibn Musa, the mathematician who gave us the name "ALGORITHM"

So, the video is initially a cartoon, in the form of a short film. In reality it is an atypical documentary: it is a "VLOG" in reverse, that is, a journey told by a person who has not been to that place, but tells it through his or her imagination and the stories of his or her parents. The real protagonist is in fact a little girl, whose mother is of Uzbek origin. The little girl faces the journey, through the eyes of her teddy bear in a dream. All the protagonists are real characters, but animated in the video via AI. The places also exist and, being a documentary, the names of the places and traditions described in the scenes appear (quickly) in the video, to intrigue the viewer to learn more:
furthermore the intention is that in this way some scenes look like postcards. Most of the scenes contain the video effect of a reportage, with realism and graininess
