. . . it's a long way to walk. Especially if you have cheap shoes, or are with someone who won't talk. The only spoiler you could write for this story is that writer\director Ciro Guerra leaves EVERYTHING to the viewers' imaginations. Did Ignacio, possessor of the "devil's accordion," steal it from his master, Guerro? Why is the wind always blowing during THE WIND JOURNEYS? Is that some sort of truth-in-advertising gimmick? How many of the fighters die in the machete duel--one, both, or none? Why is there a tribe of Eskimos living without ice? Did Fermin ever pay back the nice lady for the shoes? Why didn't the crowd at the festival like Ignacio's song about the wooden toy horse? Did Fermin take up marathon running at the end? Did the lady in the rocking chair try for the Pitter Patter of even more little feet with Ignacio? Why weren't there any polkas? (Lawrence Welk will probably turn over in his grave when he sees this!)
