Summary

El apasionante relato de la Argentinita, una mujer que quería bailar por encima de todo. Una oda al arte, a la amistad y a la libertad.

El día en que la Argentinita sube por primera vez a un escenario, con tan solo cuatro años, descubre que bailar es su destino y que quiere dedicarse a ello hasta su último aliento. Con sus pasos y su voz cautivará al mundo entero, y conocerá a las mentes más brillantes de su época: trabará una gran amistad con García Lorca, asistirá a las mejores fiestas flamencas y vivirá un apasionado romance con el torero Ignacio Sánchez-Mejías, aunque también sufrirá dolorosas pérdidas. Su talento la llevará de París a Buenos Aires, desde los cafés de Málaga hasta los escenarios de Nueva York, al tiempo que en su propio país se inicia una durísima guerra civil. Frente al miedo, esta fascinante mujer se aferrará a lo que siempre la ha sostenido: el baile.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The passionate tale of Argentinita, a woman who wanted to dance above anything else. An ode to art, friendship, and freedom.
 
The day the Argentinita goes on stage for the first time, just four years old, she discovers that dancing is her destiny and wants to devote herself to it, to her last breath. With her steps and her voice, she will captivate the entire world and meet the most brilliant minds of her time: she will become friends with García Lorca, attend the best Flamenco parties, and live a passionate romance with matador Ignacio Sánchez-Mejías, though she will suffer painful losses too. Her talent will take her from Paris to Buenos Aires, from the cafes in Malaga to the New York stage, all the while a terrible civil war breaks out in her home country. In the face of fear, this fascinating woman will hold fast to what has always kept her going: dancing.
