“I just ran into my ex-boyfriend — my dead ex-boyfriend,” says Erica Rivas (“Wild Tales”) in a new trailer for Berlinale Competition title “The Intruder” (“El Prófugo”). The spot is heavy on creepy imagery and light on plot details, but Variety, who premiered the trailer, helps fill in the gaps.

Written and directed by Natalia Meta, the Spanish-language pyschosexual fantasty thriller sees Rivas playing Inés, a dubbing actress who discovers strange sounds coming from her body after studio microphones pick up the noises. “She’s already the victim of lifelike nightmares after her boyfriend dies during a holiday, and soon becomes paranoid as she has increasing trouble telling reality from fantasy,” the source summarizes. Eventually, Inés begins to suspect that the characters in her dreams are trying to take over her body.

“The Intruder” is one of six films directed or co-directed by women screening in the Berlinale’s Competition section. Eighteen features are included in the program. The fest runs from February 20-March 1.

Meta made her feature directorial debut with 2014’s “Death in Buenos Aires.”
