Bear's Kiss is about a girl named Lola who lives in a circus. The problem is that she feels quite lonely. One day when the circus is in Russia they go to buy a new animal for the circus. Lola wants to have a baby bear and even though the bear is actually not for sale because it's too young Lola gets the baby bear. And in the following year she takes care of the bear and spends a lot of time with him. Then one day there is a young man in the cage of the bear and he claims to be Misha the bear. Lola at first doesn't know if she's crazy and if she's not crazy she doesn't know what to do. But while they travel more trough Europe there develops a love relationship between Misha and Lola. They are planning to leave the circus together. But one night before they go, a man from the circus tries to rape Lola. Misha escapes from his cage and kills the man. The police then wants to kill the bear, but Lola manages to get away together with the bear. But there's a problem: now that Misha has killed he won't be able to transform into a man anymore. Lola takes him back to Siberia, but she can't leave him there and she runs after him. First you see Lola running after the bear, then you see two bears running together. So it's a happy ending after all.

I really liked this movie. I think it's really different then most other movies. The people in the movie look like regular people and not like Hollywood stars and also the places in the movie and the conversations and even the story about a girl and a bear it's all very like a normal world and not glamorous at all. It's quite unrealistic that a bear can transform into a man and that you can have a love relationship with him, but everything in the movie looks very realistic. And I really like that in a movie. And the idea to find an impossible love while you're all alone, to find the lover that can protect you so good because he's strong like a bear. And the ironic ending when he protects her and because of that they can't be together (in human form) ever again. I think most people who like the movies in the cinema and all wouldn't like Bear's Kiss. But to the people who can appreciate a different kind of movie, i can really recommend this Bear's Kiss.
