A melancholic road journey through Colombian landscapes where a grieving musician and an admiring boy form a deep bond while grappling with loss, legacy, and the weight of a cursed instrument.

After his wife's death, a vallenato singer from Majagual, Sucre, decides to quit music and return his allegedly cursed accordion to his master. He is joined by Fermín Morales, a teenage boy who admires him and wishes to follow his footsteps. Together, they start a journey throughout several towns in Northern Colombia to Taroa, in La Guajira desert, where the singer's master supposedly lives.
