The Windjourneys (2010).   For most of his life, Ignacio Carrillo travelled the villages of northern Colombia, playing traditional songs on his accordion, a legendary instrument said to have once belonged to the devil. He eventually married and left the nomadic life behind.   When his wife dies, he vows to never play the accursed accordion again, and embarks on one last journey to return the instrument to its rightful owner. On the way, Ignacio is followed by Fermín, a spirited teenager determined to become his apprentice. Ignacio tries to discourage Fermín from following in his footsteps, but destiny has different plans for them. 120 minutes and in Spanish with English subtitles.
