The plot of the film (153 minutes).
Mexican journalist and director Silverio returns to Mexico after 15 years. He says he has forgotten a lot about his country. He makes a film about himself, inserting numerous scenes and episodes with a semi-fantastic coloring into the plot.
Impression. The film is long, very boring and very beautiful. Despite this, I watched it with pleasure. The suffering of the creator is shown from a psychological point of view very accurately. Silverio is already on the slope of life a very famous, revered filmmaker, does not get any satisfaction from this. He's running from fame, he's annoyed by popularity.
Interestingly, the first episode in the film as an epigraph to it and explains the name "Bardo". Silverio's wife has a third child. This is the boy Mateo, but when he was born, he immediately asked to return to his mother’s womb. Which the midwife did. He was afraid of the modern world, just like his father.
