An often soul-stirring experience showcasing some of the best flamenco artists in the world.

As good as the music is, the overall film only suggests what a flamenco drama might be, leaving the viewer hungry for a more fulfilling realization of the concept.

It is flamenco that shapes and forms this film, leading it several intricate steps beyond ordinary.

The combination of drama and music gives the film a stop-and-go quality, like a mixture of documentary and fiction.
