The Wind Journeys
Ignacio Carrillo, a traveling minstrel who spent years crossing towns with his accordion, sets out on one last journey: to return the instrument to his old master and never play again. Along the way he's joined by Fermín, a young man who dreams of following in his footsteps, and together they cross northern Colombia, from Majagual to the Guajira Desert, through the vast diversity of Caribbean culture. Ignacio wants to show Fermín a different path, away from the solitude that marked his own life. But first he must face his own destiny, which has a different fate in store for each of them.
