(Argentina, 2002, 94 min. In Spanish with English subtitles)
Although Bear is the only one counting, seven years have gone by since he was sent to prison for robbery an d murder.  He's unpredictable and violent by nature, but he holds his past close to his vest with a simmering intensity. The day of the robbery was his daughter's Alicia first birthday and his wife Natalia has never forgiven him for that.  Now as he is paroled, Bear thinks he might be able to star anew — but Natalia lives with Sergio, who helped her during rough times, and Alicia barely remembers her father at all.  Bear is determined to get them back or at least repair the damage. From the director of Bolivia, the critically acclaimed Un Oso Rojo is considered to be one the finest examples of the "New Argentine Cinema."
