Cachorro (2004)
5/10
Where the bears are!

It's a beary cute film, if a little depressing in places. I do wonder if some element may have been lost in the translation though, especially as the subtitles moved at light speed.

An Uncle takes on his nephew for a fortnight and finds out that he really enjoys the lads company. They have some very sweet moments as they get to know each other and I couldn't help thinking about and missing the times when my own niece and nephews would hug me without being forced to. When do they grow out of that again? I miss having a young child in the family to spoil and help grow.

The sadness in this film comes in the usual fashion of gay films from this era and I'm glad to see that we are moving on from the days when every gay film was about a drug taking, promiscuous guy with HIV in more recent releases.

The lead has a certain charm that can't be ignored, but no major crushes for me this time.
