Plot

The movie chronicles the life of Julio (Jorge Román), a Peruvian immigrant in Chile who works as a university history professor. He lives in deep loneliness, without decent housing or relationships with others, but persists with tenacity in his mission to work and send money to his mother in Peru. The film depicts his daily struggle to fit into a foreign country that rejects him, as he longs for home like a modern-day Ulysses condemned to eternal wandering.
