Synopsis:

Flamenco is one of the few art forms believed to be passed on in the genes. In Barcelona, there is a community of descendants of Gitano gypsies. They created flamenco in cafés, practiced it at home and perfected it on the streets. For example, little Juanito Manzano isn't even four feet tall but already a full-fledged flamenco musician and dancer. He fanatically taps along as he watches other dancers and wins the admiration of adults thanks to his singing and dancing. His proud father has him measured for his first pair of white flamenco shoes. Elsewhere in the city, dancer Karime Amaya impresses the musicians she is working with - they are hardly able to keep up with her dance moves. She is the niece of famous flamenco dancer and film star Carmen Amaya, who reputedly once said, "If I have to quit dancing, I'll die." Karime feels her aunt's presence while dancing and always remembers her advice to dance with all your heart. No problem at all for her or for Juanito, in the constant, rhythmic tapping of their world.

Flamenco is one of the world's few art forms that is believed to be passed down exclusively through bloodlines. For Barcelona's Gypsy community, it cannot be learned at a school or on paper. It is lived within the home, created at the bar and perfected on the street corner. Bajari goes to all those places with the dancer Karime Amaya-who is working with some of the most talented up-and-coming musicians and dancers to create an innovative show-and little 5-year old Juanito Manzano who takes his first steps to dance in it and earn his white flamenco boots. Their experiences form a journey of discovery of this living tradition and create an intimate portrait of how flamenco's legacy is kept alive within Barcelona's tight-knit Gypsy community.
