Marité Ugás’ Tribeca international narrative competition entry “Contactado” now has a first teaser-trailer, dropped by sales agent FiGa Films, which captures the main emotional crux and hints at the main story line of a psychological thriller.
Set in Lima, its local market and dramatic hinterland of sacred Inca sites, wave-pounded beaches, huge cliffs and dusty mountains, “Contactado” turns on Aldo (Baldomero Cáceres), once when young a self-proclaimed prophet, known as Aldemar, who claimed to have made contact with aliens with bases on the ocean floor.
Several decades later, aging and writhing in self-disgust, he lives in attempted anonymity, visits his mother who still writes him off as a fraud. Then Gabriel (Miguel Dávalos), who proclaims himself a follower, appears on the scene. The young man encourages Aldo to return to preaching, though Gabriel’s utter dedication to knowing everything about Aldo’s pasts speeches, references and oratorial techniques raises mounting questions about his real agenda.
