Undertow

I rented this on Lovefilm.  It is the story of a remote Peruvian fishing community, where one of the married locals, Miguel, falls in love with a visiting artist.  Said artist drowns in an accident, but comes back as a ghost, visible only to Miguel.  In order to allow the ghost to pass to the other side (?) successfully, Miguel must find his body and lay it to rest, openly admitting his love for the man in front of his deeply religious community and his pregnant wife.  Thought provoking stuff, and some nice conversation for those learning Spanish!
