Synopsis:

The French writer-director Tony Gatlif celebrates the musical culture of Andalusia in southern Spain. In the city of Seville and its surrounding villages, a number of Mediterranean traditions have come together to create a mournful, ecstatic, improvised music that goes under the name 'flamenco.' The film is at its best at those frequent moments when Mr. Gatlif steps out of his slender story line and allows some amazing performers, like the legendary flamenco singer La Caita, to cast their musical spells.

The rich and passionate sounds of Spanish flamenco music provide the backdrop for this emotional drama of two families at war. Caco (Antonio Canales) is a man whose family has long been at odds with the Caravacas, a prominent family living in the same village. Mario, Caco's brother, murdered one of the Caravacas, and now the family is out for blood, with Mario's son Diego (Orestes Villasan Rodriguez) the expected target. Caco has lost a daughter of his own, whom Diego loved, and Caco is determined to spare his nephew the same fate. But guarding the young man is no easy task in the hilly country of southern Spain. Vengo also features performances by a number of noted flamenco performers, including La Paquera de Jerez.

In Andalusia, where honour has its roots, Caco cannot get over the death of his daughter. He buries his grief in music, women and flamenco. But Caco's family has a blood debt towards the Caravaca family. Someone will have to pay.
