quote:

In her script, a young American woman goes to Spain and encounters a flamenco virtuoso who sings with so much fire she immediately wants to sign him and make him a star. What she does not know yet, is that she has trespassed into the land of duende. Duende and dollars don't mix. So he lures her into the back roads of his gypsy world so she can discover first hand the blood and roots of his duende, the true flamenco, as it is lived, free, spontaneously, under the wide open sky, without money, passports or credentials, a world unto itself, of astonishing beauty and contrasts, unknown to most, about to be lost forever to the onslaught of modern progress.
