It tells the story of Cacique Miranda, a native American from La Guajira, who became the main exporter of marihuana to the United States. Daniel Samper Pizano looks at the private lives of historical figures such as Karl Marx, Marie Curie and Winston Churchill, telling twelve stories of falling in (and out) of love in his book Insólitas parejas (2019). They will talk to Margarita Vidal.
