A dignified mother who is about to become the recipient of some very bad news unexpectedly turns the tables on her recently laid-off son in director Santiago Carlos Oves' award-winning family drama. Jaime is a family man whose wife and two children mean the world to him. His 82-year-old mother has always taken pride in her independence, and when Jaime and his wife Dorita purchase an apartment for Jaime's mother, the aging woman couldn't be happier. Unfortunately Jaime has recently been laid off by his company, and in order to maintain the payments on his beautiful house and support his family, Jaime realizes that he will have to sell the apartment in which his mother currently resides. Upon breaking the news to his mother, however, Jaime soon finds that his own revelation is just the tip of the iceberg, and that dear old mom has some pretty shocking news of her own to share. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

After witnessing a murder, Alice Kildee (Bonnie Bedelia) is involved in a car accident. She wakes up in a hospital with no memory of who she is, but has total recall concerning the murder. The problem is, no such killing has been reported. So the authorities, assuming that Alice is merely fantasizing, release her picture to the papers in hopes of identifying her. Through the help of psychiatrist Harris Kite (Peter Riegert), Alice comes to realize that the murder she has described in such vivid detail actually took place in a movie she saw just before her accident. But if this is the case, why is a hitman (David Spielberg) determined to rub out poor Alice? There's a plot twist a second in the U.S./Argentine co-production The Stranger, which manages to emulate Alfred Hitchcock without ever imitating The Master outright. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
