Summary: An unconventional uncle becomes guardian to his young nephew in this sensitive tale. When he agrees to care for his sister’s 9-year-old son, Bernardo (David Castillo), for just a couple of weeks, Pedro (José Luis García Pérez) decides it’s best to curtail his active homosexual lifestyle. But the concerned uncle discovers that young Bernardo is wise beyond his years. When the boy’s mother fails to return, Pedro must assume the role of parent.

I got to see this movie in a theater back in 2004/2005.  It was a great movie to see showing the bear community in Madrid and refreshing compared to most other bear movies.  One of the best things about this movie is the fact that it’s really a story that could fit in any type of gay community and is not focused on sex.  Sure there is some but the story is about Pedro, Bernardo and Bernardo’s Grandmother Teresa.  This is the type of bear movie that you can share with all your family and friends.  Well, at least the edited version.

5 Stars
