The story describes an elderly man with enormous wings washing up on shore during a rainstorm in a small Colombian village. The villagers are curious about the strange creature and keep him trapped in a chicken coop. A local priest is sent to determine if the winged man is good or evil. Through interactions with the man, the priest decides he is just a lonely and tired old man, not an angel or demon. In the end, the man's wings are clipped and he is freed from the village.
