The Man Who Loved UFOs

The Man Who Loved UFOs (El hombre que amaba los platos voladores, 2024) is an Argentine tragicomedy you can watch online on iFILM. It's the late 1980s, the dictatorship barely behind the country, and TV reporter José de Zer is chasing the story of his life: hard proof that aliens have come to Argentina. Trouble is, the proof keeps refusing to show up.

So de Zer stops hunting for a miracle and starts manufacturing one — staged photographs, scorched rings in the fields, a hushed voice on the broadcast. A nation starved for wonder swallows it whole, and a small lie balloons into a coast-to-coast media circus he can no longer control. Leonardo Sbaraglia plays him as a charming illusionist a little too in love with his own trick. Director Diego Lerman builds a wry fable about belief, television and how easily you can sell people the sky. Stream The Man Who Loved UFOs online on iFILM.
