The movie

Rantés, who just got admitted at the asylum, says he has come from another planet to study humans and their behaviour. His designated psychiatrist is fascinated by the alien’s discoveries.

* Martin Vetterli, president of the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), in situ

Rantès stares toward the Southeast without moving, every day. Since he was sent to Doctor Denis’ psychiatric hospital in Buenos Aires, Rantès claims to be an alien waiting for information regarding the stupidity of Earthlings. The atmosphere in the clinic slowly changes around him. Other patients start following him and Doctor Denis becomes obsessed with this strange case. Hombre Mirando al Sudeste is an enigmatic fable that bewitches the audience with its dream-like narrative and the timeless beauty of its images.
