    • Synopsis
    • José Agustín is a Wayúu indigenous who was taken from the arms of his mother, his culture and his land as a child to be educated by Catholic priests. Based on a near-death experience his grandfather has, his grandson and the film's director accompanies him on a physical and spiritual journey to reconcile with his past and his fear of dying. In his dreams, his deceased mother invites him on an inner journey in which he attends the exhumation of his own remains, fulfilling his longing to be laid to rest on his land in his family cemetery. Likewise, the grandson tries to understand the meaning of his own dreams and the search for his roots. "Los Sueños viajan con el Viento" travels through two worlds, between the dream and the real, establishing a dialogue to experience the Wayuu culture's visions of death. Grandfather and grandson embark on a sensory journey to break the limbo between life and death to create a sense of memory and identity.
