Synopsis:

A small movie with a full heart, 'Undertow' takes an old idea - the loving, lingering ghost - and gives it reverberant, resuscitated life. The story unwinds gracefully and with slow-building emotion in a tiny seaside village in remotest Peru, where, save for a few modern conveniences, people live much as they probably did decades earlier, pulling fish from the sea and bound by communal interdependence. There, a young fisherman, Miguel (Cristian Mercado), awaits the birth of his first child, an event that fills him with so much happiness that he shares his bliss generously with his beloved wife and his more adored male lover.

Winner of the Audience Award at Sundance Film Festival 2010, UNDERTOW (CONTRACORRIENTE) is the haunting, bittersweet tale of a unique love-triangle set within a small Peruvian fishing village. A highly impressive feature debut from Javier Fuentes-León.

An unusual ghost story set on the Peruvian seaside; a married fisherman struggles to reconcile his devotion to his male lover within his town's rigid traditions.
