    • Synopsis
    • In the desert of the Alta Guajira, where rain seldom falls, the 1970s brought a storm that, beginning as a comforting drizzle, ended by laying waste to everything. Yet this storm wasn´t brought by water and rain from the mountain, it was a wild herb that grew in bounty in the Great Mountain. It crazed the white people from the north with its pleasures, and also the indigenous, black and colonizing population of the Caribbean with its boon. But just as the birds of passage come only when the earth is fertile and promising, this herb left when the summer ended, leaving in its path death and desolation.
