Synopsis:

The movie seems to follow the principles of magic realism. Schwietert, the director, actually loves Gabriel García Márquez. But it´s reality. Magic reality, yes, but reality, in fact. The accordion, vallenato and the Caribbean style of life is very well told in this documentary combined with poetry and a touch of loneliness. The documentary rescues the music of a brilliant old musician, Pacho Rada, but with a deep look inside his life, generations, music and difficulties. A duel of two accordion men is absolutely delightful.
