Alberto Brogini is a fortunate man, he’s the director of an important company, married to a pretty wife, Sonia and he has a teenage daughter Sandra. After years of sacrifice he has just renovated his new house and is about to take a well-deserved holiday for which he has rented a whole island in the South Seas.
But things are not what they seem because in fact Sabina is fed-up with her husband and Sandra is always questioning bourgeoisie values and her parents’ megalomania. While his wife and daughter are packing the cases Alberto calls in at his financial advisor’s office and finds out that he’s run off with all his savings. Deeply distressed, he doesn’t know how to tell his family that he’s completely broke and they can’t go on holiday. He succeeds after some bizarre, pathetic attempts but only when they are already at the airport. This news is the final straw, the two women leave him.

Alberto Brogini es un hombre dichoso: directivo de una importante empresa, casado con una guapa mujer, Sabina, y con una hija adolescente, Sandra. Tras años de sacrificios acaba de reestructurar su nueva casa y está a punto de emprender unas muy merecidas vacaciones, para las que ha alquilado toda una isla en los Mares del Sur.
Pero todo esto es pura apariencia porque, en realidad, Sabina está cansada de su marido y Sandra pone continuamente en tela de juicio las actitudes burguesas y megalómanas de sus padres. Mientras su mujer y su hija están haciendo las maletas, Alberto pasa por la oficina de su asesor financiero y descubre que el tipo ha huido con todos sus ahorros. Profundamente consternado, no sabe cómo decirle a su familia que están sin blanca y que no pueden irse de vacaciones. Lo consigue tras una serie de rocambolescos y patéticos intentos, pero cuando ya están en el aeropuerto. La noticia es la gota que hace colmar el vaso: las dos mujeres lo abandonan.

Aunque sólo Oso lleva la cuenta, han pasado siete años desde que cayó preso por homicidio y robo a mano armada. Es un hombre parco, impredecible, violento por naturaleza o por necesidad, y es probable que en todos estos años no le haya dicho a nadie lo que oculta en sus silencios y la tristeza de su mirada.
Alicia, su hija, cumplía un año el día del asalto y Natalia, su mujer, quizás nunca lo haya perdonado. Ahora, mientras sale a la calle en libertad condicional, Oso piensa que tal vez pueda volver a empezar. El Turco le debe todavía su parte del asalto y a través de un compañero de celda contacta con Gúemes que lo emplea como chofer en su agencia de taxis. Oso a perdido a su mujer que vive ahora con Sergio y su hija apenas lo recuerda, pero Oso está dispuesto a recuperarlas o al menos a reparar los daños. Como un western desencantado y urbano, Un Oso Rojo imagina el destino de un justiciero marginal en la crudeza real de un suburbio porteño.

Although only Oso keeps track, it has been seven years since he went to prison for homicide and armed robbery. He is an unpredictable man, violent by nature, or necessity, and in all those years, he has probably never told anyone about what is behind his silences, and the sadness of his looks.
His daughter Alicia turned one on the day of the attack, and his wife Natalia may never forgive him. Now, released on bail, Oso thinks that perhaps he can start all over again. El Turco still owes him for his part in the attack, and though a cellmate, he makes contact with Gúemes, who works as a chauffeur for a taxi agency. Oso has lost his wife, who is now living with Sergio, and his daughter, who barely remembers him. But Oso is prepared to recover them, or at least to repair some of the damage. Like a disillusioned and urban Western, Un Oso Rojo (A Red Bear) tracks the fate of a marginal criminal in the harsh reality of the Buenos Aries slums.
