CONTRACORRIENTE (2009) Javier Fuentes Leon


As Miguel dumps the dead body of his male lover into the sea, in a religious ritual that frees him from suffering his loss and confronts the town's shame and rejection as he is ready to bravely deal with his estranged wife and his newborn son, Magic-realism takes over as the spirit of Santiago shows up for a final kiss. Just a single well filmed scene contains in its simplicity everything that expensive special efects could never achieve: believability of feelings.
