A wedding night. A murder. A vow of revenge sung in blood and flamenco.
In the mid nineteenth century, flamenco singing and dancing bring together their most loyal fans in a tablao in Andalusia where Rosarillo, an attractive singer unleashes the passions of his audience. On her wedding night, while the gypsy sings from deep emotion of her heart, her husband is murdered. Her feelings will be truncated at once, and in front of all those present, she swears revenge.
