In a tiny, traditionally conservative Peruvian seaside village, young fisherman Miguel (Cristián Mercado), and his beautiful bride Mariela (Tatiana Astengo) prepare to welcome their first child. But Miguel hides a scandalous secret. He is involved in a clandestine romance with another man, Santiago (Manolo Cardona), a handsome painter ostracized by the community because he's gay. After a tragic drowning accident, Santiago’s ghost returns demanding that his body be given a proper burial. Tormented, Miguel struggles to reconcile his devotion to his lover with his community’s rigid traditions; he must choose between sentencing Santiago to eternal suffering, or doing right by him and exposing their relationship to the entire village, forever destroying his marriage and his position as a community leader.
Writer-director Javier Fuentes-León’s sexy and haunting Peruvian ghost story was an award winner at the 2009 San Sebastian International Film Festival and just recently won an Audience Award at Sundance 2010.
Another screening will be held Fri March 12 at 9:15pm at the Regal South Beach 10
