Cachorro (Bear Cub) explores the "bear" gay subculture, which focuses more on lasting friendships and realistic body images than the camp, narcissistic physical perfection, or wild partying that characterizes some other aspects of gay culture.

Pedro rushes to clean up some of his behavior and discovers that Bernardo is unaffected by the exposure to his uncle's lifestyle.
