Teddy Bear (2012 film)

Teddy Bear DanishTimer til Paradis ,hours to paradise is a 2012 Danish film starring Kim Kold as a Danish bodybuilder who travels to Thailand to find love. The film was directed by Mads Matthiesen and written by Matthiesen and Martin Zandvliet. Teddy Bear is based on Matthiesens 2007 short film Dennis, which starred Kold in the same role.

Believing that his nephews chances for a relationship will improve outside the country, Bent arranges for Dennis to fly to Thailand. He leaves, telling a disgruntled Ingrid that he is going to Germany to compete in a bodybuilding competition. Though the culture shock is initially daunting, Dennis feels more comfortable after meeting Scott David Winters, a middleaged American man who introduced Bent to his wife. Scott plays matchmaker by offering to arrange a blind date for Dennis, a prospect that bolsters his confidence. That night, however, Dennis feels uneasy when it becomes apparent that the bar in which the meeting is to take place is frequented by older gentleman seeking pleasure from the women in Scotts employ who turn out to be prostitutes. Despite reservations, Dennis takes one of them back to his hotel room, but the cheapness and aseptic nature of the scenario make him hesitant and he rejects her advances.The next morning, Dennis attends a local gym where Prap Prap Poramabhuti, one of the patrons, recognizes him from his bodybuilding career. While discussing his passion, Denniss shyness and social ineptitude vanish and Prap introduces him to Toi Lamaiporn Sangmanee Hougaard, a local woman who owns the gym. Though having more in common with this crowd, Dennis goes back for a second round at the bar, but leaves within minutes of meeting another prostitute. Following up on an invitation from Prap, he joins him and his friends for dinner where a conversation with Toi sparks an attraction. A day of fun and sightseeing builds up to an evening visit to Tois apartment, where the two kiss passionately, but Denniss shyness resurfaces and he abruptly leaves. Realizing, however, that Toi is the only woman with whom he has ever felt a connection, he returns and, in a poignant scene, the two embrace and fall asleep in each others arms without having sexual relations. ........
