'El regreso'

International Film Festival

El regreso is a 2012 Costa Rica film directed and written by Hernán Jiménez. The 2012 film became the highest grossing Costa Rica film ever and the first to earn international recognition. The film was nominated for two New York Film Festival awards: Best International Feature and Best Director.

El regreso is the story of a delightful and life-changing journey back to Costa Rica. After living 10 years in New York, 30 year-old Antonio (Hernán Jiménez) returns to San José where he is forced to deal with the realities he ran away from. He is welcomed by his intense sister, Amanda, whose husband recently abandoned her and their young son Inti, who is apprehensive about Antonio’s presence. When things take an unexpected turn, Antonio is forced to remain home far longer than he had anticipated.
