Is the big head a bully or does it just not know how to appropriately ask to join in the fun? As the big head approaches, are its intentions good or bad? How can the viewer tell if the big head is friendly or nasty? This film is a discussion starter about evaluating situations and deciding how to defuse or escalate possible conflict.
