Ciclo de cine peruano / Peruvian film series

Sinopsis: Miguel es un joven pescador de Cabo Blanco, un pequeño pueblo de la costa norte de Perú, donde existen tradiciones muy arraigadas con respecto a la muerte. Miguel está casado con Mariela, embarazada de siete meses del primer hijo de ambos, pero tiene un romance extremadamente secreto con otro hombre, Santiago, un pintor que se mudó al pueblo hace un año y que es rechazado por la gente por ser agnóstico y abierto acerca de su sexualidad.

Miguel se enfrenta a un gran dilema cuando Santiago se ahoga accidentalmente y regresa, después de muerto, a pedirle que encuentre su cuerpo en el mar y lo entierre según los rituales del pueblo, para que su alma descanse. Hacerlo sería revelar su relación con Santiago, y arruinar su matrimonio y reputación. No hacerlo sería sentenciarle a vagar para siempre.

Synopsis: Miguel is a handsome, young and beloved fisherman in Cabo Blanco, a small fishing village in the Northern coast of Peru, where the community has deep-rooted religious traditions. Miguel is married to the beautiful Mariela, who is 7-months pregnant with their firstborn, but Miguel harbors a scandalous secret: He is having a love affair with another man, Santiago, a painter who is ostracized by the townsfolk for being agnostic and open about his sexuality.When Santiago drowns accidentally in the ocean's strong undertow, he cannot pass peacefully to the other side. He returns after his death to ask Miguel to look for his body and bury it according to the rituals of the town. Miguel must choose between sentencing Santiago to eternal torment or doing right by him and, in turn, revealing their relationship to Mariela and the entire village. Miguel is forced to deal with the consequences of his acts and to come to terms with who he really is, even if by doing so he stands the chance of losing the people he loves the most.With sweeping images of the beautiful Peruvian coastline, UNDERTOW (Contracorriente) is the emotional intersection of contemporary sexuality, confronted by tradition and belief. This sexy and redolent love story is the feature film debut of Javier Fuentes-León and stars Manolo Cardona (Beverly Hills Chihuahua and the hugely popular telenovela series, Sin tetas no hay paraiso, and was also named by People en Espanol as one of its 50 Most Beautiful People in 2005), Cristian Mercado (Che) and Tatiana Astengo. The film is produced by Javier Fuentes-León and Rodrigo Guerrero (Maria Full of Grace, Dog Eat Dog).
