Treatment

The film starts with a young girl being given a teddy bear. - Music playing, parent not seen. Close ups of teddy bear's face.
Photo frames on the wall, pan down to frame with image of the girl on stage. Pan across to bed, girl is sleeping with her arm hanging over the edge of the bed. Flashback dream of the girl on the stage dancing in a spot light.
Back to the girl asleep. She drops the teddy - slow motion. Music stops.
Girl wakes up and looks over the edge of the bed. The bear is gone. She sleepily looks around the room and sees a shadow move across the wall. She throws the covers over herself scared, she whimpers. She peaks through the cover and sees the bear sitting on her bedside table. She pulls him in and hugs him, calms down and goes back to sleep. Fade out.
Next day. The girl is playing with the teddy and hears a parent say " Do you want any Ice Cream? You had a bit of a sleepless night" The girl jumps up with the teddy runs from the living room through the hall to the kitchen and drops the teddy in the hallway. Ice cream gets placed on the counter. She pulls up a stool and tucks in. Pan out of the room to see the teddy sitting in the hallway. The girl finishes her ice cream and jumps down off her stool and into the hall where the teddy was.
She looks around for the teddy searching in different rooms and finds him sitting next to a wall. She picks him up revealing a small doodle on the wall, that she doesn't notice. Shot of doodle in foreground, girl walking away in background. The doodle is a simple drawing of a girl - looking a little like the bear's owner.
The girl is in the bathroom, brushing her teeth. She looks out of the door at a door across the hall that is dark. She looks blankly at the dark room, finishes her teeth and leaves the room keeping her eyes on the dark room as she walks away. - Long shots
The girl is back in bed again, asleep. She drops her teddy bear onto the floor, just like before. She wakes up and sees a small furry creature by the door as she's looking around for her teddy bear. It turns so that it's face comes into the light to reveal it's scary face. She watches it, frozen. It runs out of the room making a big shadow in her bedroom. The girl slowly gets out of bed and follows the furry thing. The shadow moves along to hallways until she comes to a large usually-blank part of wall. It has a rough drawing on the wall. The creature is watching her from around a corner. The drawing is of what seems to be her. She stares at the drawing unable to speak to move. A shadow comes up behind her and she slowly turns. High shot, looking down at her. She panics and says quickly "I didn't do it!" This person standing over her is her parent and says sternly "go back to sleep, now." - they obviously don't believe that she didn't do it. The girl walks back to her room and her teddy bear is on the floor where she dropped it. She picks it up and crawls back into bed keeping an eye out for anything strange until she finally falls asleep.
It's now the next day and the girl is sitting sensibly on the sofa with her teddy alongside her. She looks down, feeling very guilty. She turns and looks down at her teddy bear and he's sat facing her almost looking up at her. She stares at it for a while. View from teddy's eyes. Her mum's voice comes from the other room "right, time to talk, miss!" The girl reluctantly stands up and leaves the room. Leaving the bear sitting on the sofa.
The girl is leaving a room and she goes upstairs. She walks along the hallway and comes face to face with a large drawing on the wall. The drawing is of the photo that the girl keeps beside her bed; her favourite photo. The girl backs away, turns and runs downstairs. She dashes into the living room grabbing the teddy bear off the sofa and running out of the front door. She runs to the local village hall - a short run.
She goes inside and as the door shuts behind her the bear drops to the floor. She looks around the hall, looking at the stage that was drawn on the wall. She swallows hard and approaches the stage, the bear is already gone. She leans over to the stage and searches around. She decides to have a look back stage. She finds the typical things found in a backstage area. Even a bowl of water with a make-up covered towel.
Finding nothing of importance, she goes back to the front of the stage and finds a small scale version of the stage. The small stage is illuminated and small shadow puppets rise and start to tell a story. They tell the story of the girl and the bear. The stage goes dark and the girl backs away.
She turns to see a shadow on the wall and focus' on the shape of the ears. She runs towards the shadow but there is no bear around. She franticly searches the building looking for the bear until she finally catches up with the bear. He's sitting on the floor - still. She picks him up and holds him tight and looks around for some way of disposing the bear. She finally realises the bowl of water she had noticed earlier. She looks down into the teddy bear's face, now cute. She thinks back to the face she saw in her room, shakes her head and lunges at the bowl of water pushing the bear to the bottom of the glass bowl. Bubbles are rising as the keeps the bear pressed to the bottom. Finally she calms down and lets go of the bear. He rises to the top of the water, floating face down. The girl breathes heavily and backs away.
The girl is home sitting in her dark room. She is surrounded by her toys, some are in pieces; she is pulling apart the rest. She's never going to trust a toy again. We haven't seen all of her face yet. We see her from behind and it is revealed that she appears to have teddy bear ears. She looks up towards the ears. One of the ears twitches. Black.
