- As a hall fills with performers, a narrator says that flamenco came from Andalucia, a mix of Greek psalms, Mozarabic dirges, Castillian ballads, Jewish laments, Gregorian chants, African rhythms, and Iranian and Romany melodies. The film presents thirteen rhythms of flamenco, each with song, guitar, and dance: the up-tempo bularías, a brooding farruca, an anguished martinete, and a satiric fandango de huelva. There are tangos, a taranta, alegrías, siguiriyas, soleás, a guajira of patrician women, a petenera about a sentence to death, villancicos, and a final rumba. Families present numbers, both festive and fierce. The camera and the other performers are the only audience.

- Using footage, personal photos, and scrap book memorabilia we travel through time with Inesita as she shares about her distinctive performance career of 8 decades. The title is inspired by a lost short film by NYU students shot in 1962 that aspired to capture Inesita's artistry: 'Inesita: The Art of Flamenco.' This short features footage from a work print from that shoot. Inesita fondly recalls the film students: the director, Robert Siegel, a film professor, and the cameraman, Martin Scorsese.

The ever evolving, enduring art of flamenco, was declared in 2010 by UNESCO an 'Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity'.

- Using a host's narrative, performance and interviews, we examine the intimate connection between gitanos (Spanish Gypsies) and traditional flamenco. We also see how it is connected with the ways gitanos maintained themselves (as farm laborers, blacksmiths, fishermen, peddlers and the like)- how each one of these occupations gave rise to a different form of flamenco singing. Finally, we will see that although traditional flamenco is capable of expressing very deep and universal emotions, it is also in danger of disappearing. We will illustrate much of the documentary with flamenco singing - subtitled, to be more accessible - because of what the singing tells us about the life and history of the gitanos. We will also use relevant images, such as farm workers in the fields when we are talking about farm laborers. nd although we will include a fair amount of flamenco singing, there will also be dance performances by famous stars as well as elderly people from the community and one extremely talented, five year-old girl. The guitar will also be represented by two famous guitarists, who will talk to us about their art as well as giving us a demonstration. Our host is an internationally touring gitano flamenco singer, so much of his explanations will be in the form of personal stories and an account of personal observations. We will also two experts, and all of the flamenco performers will contribute a little information through interviews.

- Seville (Spain), San Luis neighborhood. Between February through May 2009, the last months prior to the closure of a self-managed squatter social center in an abandoned hat factory, a camera tries to film a weekly flamenco singing workshop. That process becomes a frustrated search, a series of tests with every variation of flamenco singing that is taught and learned: farrucas, soleares, seguiriyas, tarantos, bulerías, granaínas, alegrías and tientos-tangos. The result is a film as incomplete and truncated as the workshop and the physical space it depicts -both of them are projects still in construction, unfinished, and frustrated. It's also a film that tries to keep the same connection with flamenco the characters have, showing it without stylization and shredding its solemnity, thus suggesting a vindication of its current validity and an extension of its possible ranges.
