After world premiering in the main competition at Karlovy Vary, the first Chilean film ever to receive that honor, “The Man of the Future” from Felipe Ríos has released a trailer ahead of its domestic premiere at next month’s Sanfic Festival in Santiago, Chile.

Michelson heads south on the last trip before being let go by his employer, and picks up a curious young hitchhiker along the way. At the same time, Elena hitches a ride from another driver to get to a boxing competition in a remote Patagonia town.
With a little help, Elena gets the chance to reach out to her father and the unplanned encounter offers the opportunity of reconciliation,...
