Plot

Caught in the unforgiving grip of time, Lauro (Retes), a dynamic Mexican journalist, finds himself entombed within the chilling confines of a two-decade long coma. Awakening in a startlingly unfamiliar Mexico, he is thrust into a future that is a far cry from the one he had envisioned in his youthful days. Suspended between 1971 and the nineties, Lauro grapples with a world transformed - a world where ideals, customs, and the very essence of life have evolved, leaving him a stranger in his own homeland. This dark comedy, steeped in the mysteries of time and the relentless march of progress, is a poignant exploration of the past, present, and the unexpected future. El Bulto paints a vivid picture of a man wrestling with the disorienting reality of change, a testament to the human spirit's resilience amid the tides of history. As Lauro navigates this new Mexican landscape, he is forced to reconcile with the harsh truth that the future rarely aligns with the dreams of our youth. El Bulto is not just a trip through time, but a journey into the heart of a man and a nation evolving together, a captivating tale of survival, adaptation, and the unyielding power of change.
