Synopsis

Dr. Carlos Espejo has served a long and unjust sentence, and upon leaving he discovers a modern society different from the one he knew. The years in prison have changed his life: his son has moved away from the pressure of his father's conviction, and the search for his old friends and colleagues yields no results. With little to cling to in the city, Carlos will let himself be carried away by the Andean ravine riding the mythical "male train" guiding Nazario, a blind man he met in prison. Both will persevere to adapt to a changing world, embarking on the macho journey towards their ultimate freedom. [4]
