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.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Director Gabriel Retes constructs the narrative as a subtle satire, using Lauro's personal disorientation to explore a nation's collective cultural shock. The film relies on the contrast between the naive idealism of the past and the cynical reality of the present, turning comedic situations into vehicles for poignant reflection.

What lingers after the final frame is a bittersweet meditation on progress and loss, where humor gently underscores a profound sense of temporal displacement. — MovieFinder Editorial
