“Can we talk about how weird you’re acting? It’s like you never came back.” Kino Lorber has unveiled the official US trailer for a unique art film titled The Currents, made by the Argentinian filmmaker Milagros Mumenthaler as her second feature film so far. This first premiered last year at the Toronto & San Sebastian Film Festivals, before also playing at the Busan, Chicago, New York, AFI Fest, and Vienna Film Festivals and opening in Argentinian cinemas in November. Now it’s arriving in limited US theaters this summer. During a business trip to Geneva, Switzerland, Lina’s impulsive decision to jump into the icy river leads to perilous consequences. Back in Buenos Aires, she tries to bury her secret, but the dark past she left behind resurfaces to threaten her current life and stirs up turmoil. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Milagros Mumenthaler, this is a quietly gripping psychological mystery with dreamlike, hallucinatory threads that weave a portrait of a woman on the verge of unraveling. Starring Isabel Aimé Gonzalez-Sola as Lina, Claudia Sánchez, Esteban Bigliardi, Ernestina Gatti, Jazmín Carballo, Patricia Mouzo, and Susana Saulquin. It certainly seems like an intriguing tale of a woman in crisis – rethinking her entire existence. Worth a watch.
Here’s the official US trailer (+ poster) for Milagros Mumenthaler’s film The Currents, from YouTube:
While visiting Switzerland to accept an award for her work in the fashion industry, Argentinian designer Lina (Isabel Aimé González Sola) is seized by the sudden urge to jump off a bridge into an icy river. She survives the plunge and returns to Buenos Aires; she tells no one of the incident, yet a transformation has taken place within her. Left with a paralyzing fear of water, Lina finds it impossible to readjust to her former identity as a wife, mother, and artist. She distances herself from her husband (Esteban Bigliardi) and career, growing increasingly isolated and fragile as she confronts long buried existential questions. The Currents, also known as Las corrientes in Spanish, is both written and directed by Argentinian indie filmmaker Milagros Mumenthaler, of the film La idea de un lago previously, plus many other shorts. It’s produced by Eugenia Mumenthaler, David Epiney, Violeta Bava, Rosa Martínez Rivero. This first premiered at both the 2025 Toronto & San Sebastian Film Festivals last year. Kino Lorber debuts Mumenthaler’s The Currents film in select US theaters starting May 29th, 2026 coming soon. For info, visit their official site.
