Beware
of false Gods…
The
uncanny, the unsettling, and the unexpected combine to devastating effect in
The Sacred Spirit, the extraordinary debut feature from Spanish writer-director
Chema Garcia Ibarra.
A
missing girl. A community in shock. Jose Manuel lives a quiet life. He works in
his modest tapas bar, takes care of his elderly mother and attends weekly
meetings of the Ovni-Levante, a group of devoted UFO enthusiasts who gather
after hours at the office of a local estate agent to exchange information about
extraterrestrial messages and alien abductions. When their leader dies
unexpectedly, only Jose is left to know the cosmic secret that could alter the
future of humanity. And only Jose knows what he must do.
As
if Ken Loach and Aki Kaurismaki remade the The X-Files, The Sacred Spirit is a
provocative, humane, and unsparing vision that marks the arrival of a unique
new voice in genre cinema.
