Man Facing Southeast LAFF

Synopsis: Movie in Spanish with English subtitles. Registration required. Synopsis A mysterious man signs himself into the psychiatric hospital. He claims to come from another planet to study humans and their behaviour. The new patient is gentle but criticizes humans for their harsh treatment of each other. His assigned psychiatrist, lonely and depressed, is working through his own unhappiness. He finds himself affected by the patient's insight, but he is ordered to treat the patient according to institutional procedure. In the end, the man's madness and his extra-terrestrial origins seem to be equally strong possibilities; the educated, well-meaning psychiatrist is unable to choose between the two.
