Man Facing Southeast

A new patient mysteriously appears in a psychiatric ward. He explains his presence on Earth as a result of his image being projected from light years away and claims to come from another planet to study humans and their behavior. Rantés is no ordinary man, though. Having a psychokinetic gift, he quickly finds ways to explore the city on his own and without permission. Compassionate to a fault, he uses this gift to the benefit of the hungry, narrowly skirting the law. And spends hours standing in one of the Asylum's Courtyards, completely motionless, facing southeast. (Moscow International Film Festival)
