BAJARI

Juanito is about to fulfill his dream: to be a dancer. Karime arrives in Barcelona to find the imprint of her aunt-grandmother Carmen Amaya, the best flamenco dancer of all time.

Juanito is about to fulfill one of his dreams: to have a pair of red ankle boots which will make him a real flamenco dancer. Flamenco is transmitted through family traditions within the gypsy community by Carmen Amaya, the greatest flamenco dancer of all time. Her niece-granddaughter, Karime, arrives in Barcelona to relive her career. The trip is completed when Winny, her mother, joins her from Mexico with the mission of preparing a show with the best talents in the city. Together they will discover the spirit of Bajarí, the name of the city of Barcelona in caló, the language of the gypsies.
