With the Kafkaesque phrase "he who does not seek does not find, but he who does not seek is found", Sánchez begins an episodic story scripted and filmed in only 27 hours where there is virtually a single location that resembles, in a very stylized way, a prison.

Voy y vuelvo is verbally organized with an anthropological approach, with the same interest of the director for the Mapuche dialect in Cautiverio Feliz and in Date una vuelta en el aire, and from there incorporates elements of popular culture and the notion of purgatory as a recurring figure.
