Storyline:
For most of his life, Ignacio traveled the villages of
Colombia, playing songs on his accordion, a legendary
instrument said to have once belonged to the devil. He
eventually married and settled in a small town, leaving
his nomadic life behind. But after the death of his
wife, he vows to never play the cursed accordion again
and embarks on one last journey to return the instrument
to its proper owner. On the way, Ignacio is followed by
Fermín, a feisty teenager determined to become his
apprentice. Tired of solitude, Ignacio accepts him as
his pupil and together they traverse the vast Colombian
terrain. Hardened by a life of loneliness, Ignacio tries
to discourage Fermín from following in his footsteps,
but destiny has other plans for them.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Lenny from Chicago - Customer Review
Loved this movie! Especially the homage to 8 Mile, when
the duelling accordianists do battle, complete with
insults! The ending left me wondering a bit though. What
was in the note the master left Ignacio? Was it a plea
to take care of his wife and brood? Or to continue
playing the ''devil''s instrument''? I LOVE Film Movement!
JeffinSeattle - Customer Review
I love the cinematography of "The Wind Journeys".
There''s a new environment in every scene. That way
everything seems fresh and wonderful. I enjoyed the
story of a man''s journey to return the accordion to its
master (and a young man tags along with him). Does
anyone know of a dueling accordion competition going on?
I might show up!
