El bulto

A sleeping man. A generation that awakens ... 20 years that are not forgotten

1992114 min6.7 / 10

A wry, melancholic comedy-drama about a man awakening from a 20-year coma to find Mexico and himself fundamentally changed, grappling with lost time and the gap between youthful dreams and lived reality.

After being in a comma for 20 year, Lauro wakes up in a very different Mexico than the one he lived on. Ideas, hopes, ways-of-life and customs have changed, and Mexicans of the nineties are strangers for a man sleeping since 1971. Lauro will have to deal with the changes brought by the History, and will have to accept that the future is never as we imagined it when we were young.
