Sinopsis: One day, a boy travels with his family to the nitrate fields in Chacabuco, the old fortress town in the Antofagastadesert, and explores the old buildings. The years go by and, like the wind, the days and hours of yesteryear slip away. The boy is now an old man. A lonely old man. And this old man decides to go and live in Chacabuco.
