Zustand: Very Good. : En una noche africana, un disparo rompe el silencio. José Antonio sigue el sonido hasta el escenario de la compañía de teatro local, donde encuentra a Nelio, el joven líder profético de los niños de la calle de la ciudad, desplomado en sangre. Nelio se niega a ser llevado al hospital y, en cambio, le cuenta a José la historia de su vida: cómo los bandidos asaltaron su aldea, su audaz escape y su lucha por sobrevivir en las calles. José cambia irrevocablemente y se convierte en el Cronista de los Vientos, revelando la mágica historia de Nelio a todos los que quieran escuchar. Una historia conmovedora y poderosa sobre una África devastada por la guerra, un niño huérfano místico y el poder de la narrativa para dar orden a un mundo caótico.
