Director: Chus Gutiérrez
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Taking inspiration from Romeo and Juliet, and also probably Strictly Ballroom, this flamenco romance is a fairy tale set in Madrid. Handsome, womanising Antonio wants to become a flamenco star, but hasn't enough gypsy in his soul to pass muster - that's also the problem when he meets and falls for Lucia, a serious student whose patriarchal family don't want her hanging out with non-gypsies. Stylishly shot but with no new spin on macho mores.Author: GA
