Man Facing Southeast

One day, frustrated Buenos Aires psychiatrist Julio Denis (Lorenzo Quinteros) discovered an unaccounted-for new patient n his hospital ward--Rantes (Hugo Soto), a serene if cryptic man claiming to be a visitor from another planet. When his new charge begins showing inexplicable abilities, as well as a calming influence upon the other residents, Denis begins to wonder if Rantes’ assertions really aren’t mere lunacy. Memorable, sci-fi-tinged allegory from Argentina also stars Inés Vernengo, David Edery. 108 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Spanish; Subtitles: English; featurettes. In Spanish with English subtitles.
