Storyline

“La Singla” was born deaf in a gypsy community in Barcelona, but despite all the social barriers, she had an internationally successful career, coming to be considered the best bailaora in the world before she turned 18.

Our story begins 50 years later in Seville, when a young journalist and flamenco teacher discovers some old recordings of La Singla on the internet. Impressed by her talent, she decides to cross Spain to look for her in Barcelona, where she finally finds her, withdrawn from her for years. On her way, the journalist discovers her story of overcoming her and her abuses that pushed her to disappear from the stage.

With an impressive talent, and a great history of overcoming, it seemed that Antonia was born to succeed. But surprisingly, La Singla was eliminated from flamenco history.
