A debilitating accident is followed by a botched attempt at rekindling an old flame in Chile. Our anti-hero, the Gringo, finds himself down and out but not alone, in Valparaiso Chile, a cradle made for his rebirth. Wine, women and music help him to stave off the blues as he struggles to make some sense out of his peculiar destiny. Full of philosophical quandary and stark reflection, this blend of fact and fiction shines a light on some of the more mysterious aspects of the human experience. At once light-hearted and earnest, absurdly surreal and poignantly candid, the narrative is meant to both transform and transcend the world around us.
