The firs emotive, real, non porno bear movie i have seen.

A movie who makes you cry, laugh and recognize yourself its a movie you should see. Tenderness, paternal feelings, and a show of the madrid bear scene are enough to make any one, regardless sexual orientation, understand some bits more of the world, and feel it like theirs.

The music its too fine, the bears are too handsome, director chooses not to avoid real issues in gay life, like sex, cruising, dark rooms, baths... But he does it like they are as usual as going to cinema, showing clearly that what we do in bed doesn't makes us better or worse.

The story or the movie its a story of feelings, between a father and his son, uncle and nephew who learn to be with each other, showing the world that raising a children its only love, not being a non sexual being. that first and foremost, trust, love, care and tenderness are the stuff a boy its raised on.

in few words, its my movie :)
