As the screen fades from black, an eldery man adorned in an orange vest ponders over a newspaper ad. He wonders what type of person would be seeking the help of an 80-to-90 year old man.
Within moments, Sergio’s question is answered: He’s being hired to infiltrate and investigate potential mistreatment by staff at a retirement home.
“From now on,” Investigator Romulo informs Sergio, “you will be a mole agent. A spy.”
As the trailer for “El Agente Topo” — “The Mole Agent” — continues, Sergio sneaks around the retirement home, gathering information for his investigation while capturing the hearts of the eldery women who live there.
The film is just one of six films that will be shown at the Gainesville Latino Film Festival. It’ll make its Hippodrome Theatre debut at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, kicking off the festival’s 18th year.
