  Winner of the 2010 Sundance World Cinema Audience Award Undertow (Contracorriente) is the outstanding debut feature film of Javier Fuentes-Le''n. Capturing the hidden beauty of the sweeping Peruvian coastline this haunting bittersweet tale of a unique love-triangle examines the quest to define contemporary sexual identity confronted by dogma and tradition. In a small fishing village on the Northern coast of Peru where religious traditions run deep Miguel (Cristian Mercado Che) a well respected fisherman and his beautiful bride Mariela (Tatiana Astengo) are about to welcome their firstborn. But Miguel harbours a secret; he is also in love with Santiago (Manolo Cardona Beverly Hills Chihuahua) a visiting artist who has been ostracized by the local community because of his sexuality. Forced to deal with the consequences of his acts Miguel must come to terms with who he really is even if by doing so he risks losing everything including the people he loves the most.
