Undertow (2009, Peru)

Trailer

Peru's National Entry to the 2011 Academy Awards. "In this unique ghost story set on the Peruvian seaside, a married fisherman struggles to reconcile his devotion to his lover within his town's rigid traditions. Miguel, a handsome young fisherman, and his beautiful bride, Mariela are about to welcome their first child. But Miguel harbors a secret; he's in love with Santiago, a painter, who is ostracized by the town because he's gay. After a tragic accident, 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.
