brief_description
Above the Californian fishing port of Monterey stands an old settlement called Tortilla Flat. Here live the paisanos, men with "a mixture of Spanish, Indian, Mexican, and Caucasian bloods." Amongst them is Danny - a proud and warm-hearted vagabond - who becomes the leader and saviour of a small company of non-conformists. This is the story of how the group became one; shared wine, food and experiences until tragedy crept over their happiness and the friendship disintegrated. -- Cover.
