What happens
Invasión is an Argentine science fiction mystery film released in 1969 and directed by Hugo Santiago and written by Santiago together with Jorge Luis Borges and Adolfo Bioy Casares. Widely regarded as an important cult film, its style is considered as intermediate between classic cinema and the French nouvelle vague. In a survey of the 100 greatest films of Argentine cinema carried out by the Museo del Cine Pablo Ducrós Hicken in 2000, the film reached the 38th position. In a new version of the survey organized in 2022 by the specialized magazines La vida útil, Taipei and La tierra quema, presented at the Mar del Plata International Film Festival, the film reached the 2nd position.
