In 1930s Chile, young dreamer
Alejandro Jodorowsky thirsts to break out of his unbearable father's shadow and yearns to become a poet. As the wide-eyed teenager discovers
Federico García Lorca's poetry, he rejects a preordained life and a future as a medical doctor--and several years later Alejandro meets his muse, punk poetess,
Stella Díaz Varín. In the bosom of the bohemian Santiago, the aspiring poet collects friends and mentors such as novelist
Enrique Lihn and poet
Nicanor Parra, companions to a never-ending pursuit of elegance, enlightenment, and Endless Poetry.
