Absent

Absent (Ausente, 2011) — watch online on iFILM. An Argentine psychological thriller from director Marco Berger. Sebastiano teaches high school PE and coaches swimming; he has a girlfriend and a routine that suits him fine. Then Martin, one of his students, starts showing up in places he shouldn't.

The intrusions are small at first. A request, then another. Berger films the whole thing at near-silent intensity — no confrontations, just the slow accumulation of something neither man will name. Carlos Echevarría and Javier De Pietro make every loaded glance count across 87 minutes. Stream Absent (2011) online on iFILM.
