In a tiny Peruvian seaside village, where traditions run deep, Miguel , a young fisherman, and his beautiful bride, Mariela , are about to welcome their first child. But Miguel harbors a scandalous secret. He's in love with Santiago, a painter, who is ostracized by the town because he's gay. After a tragic accident occurs, 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.

Contracorriente has been selected by Peru to vie for a Foreign Language Oscar Nomination. QFilms would like to congratulate Javier Fuentes-León on this exceptional honor!
