Show plot summary (may contain spoilers)

In the 70s, as the American youth embraces hippie culture, marijuana bonanza hits Colombia, quickly turning farmers into seasoned businessmen. In the Guajira desert, a Wayuu indigenous family takes a leading role in this new venture, and discovers the perks of wealth and power. But when greed, passion, and honor blend together, a fratricidal war breaks out and will soon put their family, their lives and their ancestral traditions at stake.
