Cachorro / Bear Cub (2004)

Spanish film shows a bear (a hairy, usually overweight and older gay man) living in Madrid and having to take care of his 9 year old nephew while the man’s sister (boy’s mother) is away on vacation.  Refreshingly, it shows a very gay accepting society.  The conflicts in the film aren’t the typical gay fare.  In fact, this is a drama which could be written about a heterosexual with minor modifications.  Still since it has gay content, it did keep my interest and the actors are excellent.  Be prepared for some rather explicit scenes in the beginning.
