"Man Facing Southeast"
1987
Directed by Eliseo Subiela

In this critically-acclaimed Argentine film a man named Rantes suddenly appears in a Buenos Aires hospital, expertly playing the organ. But who is he--this man with no recorded identity? Doctor Denis dismisses Rantes' claim of being an alien visitor as a simple case of paranoid delusion. Beatriz, his only visitor, sees him as an intimate and knowing companion. The other patients, intrigued by his mysterious intelligence, see him as their only source of hope. 105 minutes.
