CACHORRO
Saturday, October 16, 9:30pm
Imagine a gay Spanish ABOUT A BOY with a heavy dose
of hot bear-on-bear action. Thirty-something dentist Pedro (José
Luis García-Pérez) seems to have it all—a successful
practice, a beautifully decorated Madrid apartment, and a steady
supply of intense strings-free action with a circle of hot bear
buddies. After Pedro’s flaky, hippie sister leaves her inquisitive
nine-year-old son Bernardo (David Castillo) with him for an extended
stay, this unlikely parental figure begins to learn a thing or two
about responsibility and loyalty. Both bear and cub begin to blossom
and mature before our eyes...until Bernardo’s meddling paternal
grandmother (Empar Ferrer) enters the picture and shows her most
unpleasant true colors. The latest from up-and-coming Spanish director
Luis Miguel Albaladejo (MY FIRST NIGHT) is by turns hilarious and
heartrending, with honesty and warmth to spare.
Screening with EARGASM: See what curls this bear’s
toes in the morning…
