REVIEW

Snuggle up to one of the the first
feature-length narratives to feature
"bears" and their community, many of
them quite "woofy." Meet Pedro (José
Luis García-Pérez) a handsome gay
dentist who is unabashedly and fondly
known as a "bear" - a gay male who is
big and hairy. His free-spirited sister
decides to take a vacation in India with
her shady boyfriend leaving her 9-year-
old son, Bernardo (David Castillo), in
his care. Pedro modifies his behavior
by hiding all his porn, scolding his
friends for rolling joints in the house,
and abstains from his usual steamy,
sexual hook-ups. But Bernardo is quite
mature for his age and loves his uncle
unconditionally.

When mom is unexpectantly detained
in India, Pedro is faced with the
possibility of raising Bernardo as his
own. And to further complicate matters,
Dona Teresa (Empar Ferrer),
previously exiled from all of our
beloved characters’ lives, wants
custody of the young boy and will do
anything to achieve her goals.

There is amazing chemistry between
the charming Pérez and shining
youngster Castillo. They form a new
family unit that builds a wonderful
emotional foundation for the film. Plus,
Spanish director Miguel Albaladejo, isn’
t shy in showing frisky sex, deep
intimacy and complicated human
relationships. The film is never overly
sentimental or sensational but is an
amusingly touching film about
reinterpreting the idea of "family"
whether you are gay, straight, bear or
non-bear. (Spanish with English
subtitles)
