Watch El Hombre Que Cuida

El Hombre Que Cuida (The Watchman) is a 2017 drama film directed by Alejandro Andújar. The movie stars Hector Anibal (as Juan), Julietta Rodriguez (as Sara), and Paula Ferry (as Ana), among others. The movie takes place in a secluded coastal town, where Juan works as a watchman. He spends his days patrolling the beach, keeping an eye on the villas and mansions in the area, and making sure everything is in order. Juan is a middle-aged man, weathered by life and loneliness, and lives a spartan life in a small house near the beach.

One day, Sara and her daughter Ana arrive in town. They are renting one of the mansions by the beach for the summer. Juan is immediately taken with Sara; she is beautiful, smart, and has a sharp tongue. Juan is fascinated by her and keeps a watchful eye on her from a distance.

As the summer progresses, Juan and Sara's paths cross more often. They chat, laugh, and share stories about their past. Juan is happy to have someone to talk to, and Sara is happy to find someone who is not part of the social scene in town. They develop a friendship that borders on romance, and start to spend more time together.

However, their idyllic summer is interrupted when Ana goes missing. Juan and Sara search for her frantically, but she seems to have vanished into thin air. The disappearance shatters the peace of the town and the lives of its residents. Juan's life is turned upside down; he was the last person to see Ana before she disappeared, and is a suspect in the investigation.

The Watchman is an atmospheric and haunting movie that explores issues of loneliness, longing, and the search for human connection. The movie portrays the lives of the residents of the town in a realistic and nuanced way; the quiet desperation of Juan's life, the shallow and decadent existence of the wealthy vacationers, and the claustrophobic and stifling atmosphere of a small town. The performances are outstanding; Hector Anibal delivers a nuanced and understated portrayal of Juan, and Julietta Rodriguez is luminous as Sara. The cinematography is stunning, and the movie captures the beauty and desolation of the coastal town perfectly.

Overall, The Watchman is an engrossing and thought-provoking movie that will stay with the viewer long after it has ended. It is a must-watch for anyone who enjoys character-driven dramas that explore the human condition with sensitivity and subtlety.
