A story in search of a way out, a desired escape, of repetitions and symmetries, of the same paths that come and go but never cross, like cable cars...

In 'De regreso (El país dormido) (1991)', a man embarks on a soul-searching expedition to find his true identity in a country that has lost its spirit. Through his comedic and dramatic escapades, he strives to awaken the slumbering nation and ultimately his own self.

Pablo, a sports journalist, turns 38. Marcelo, his best friend, organizes a party that becomes the excuse for the characters to bring out their stories.
