Perfidy

We all know not to judge a book, or a man, by appearance. Gustavo seems to be a rich, leisurely drifter in a northeastern resort town. After a long journey through the snow-covered roads of upstate New York, he settles into his hotel room. When he starts receiving mysterious phone calls, envelopes with money, and photographs slid under his hotel room door, we understand that he is no ordinary dropout. He is a hired hit man stalking the woman in the next room. Money doesnt motivate Gustavo on this assignment, but rather an act of betrayal that the audience slowly pieces together. Punctuated by both folk music and 80s pop, PERFIDY is a character study that follows Gustavos physical transformation from a shaggy backpacker to a well-groomed and stylish killer. A co-production of American, Chilean, and Bolivian directors and writers, PERFIDY will mesmerize with its beguiling lead character and relentless quest for resolution.
