(released internationally as Bear Cub ) is a 2004 Spanish comedy-drama that offers a surprisingly grounded and tender look at non-traditional family bonds. Plot Summary
The story follows Pedro (), a single, carefree gay dentist living in Madrid’s vibrant "bear" scene—a subculture of heavyset, hairy gay men. His life is upended when his sister, Violeta, leaves her 9-year-old son, Bernardo ( David Castillo ), in his care while she travels to India. What was meant to be a two-week stay becomes permanent after Violeta is arrested abroad, forcing the hedonistic Pedro to embrace fatherhood and defend his right to raise his nephew against a prejudiced grandmother.
