In this short documentary, a flamenco guitarist named Juan Ramírez hustles to make a modest living amidst Spain's economic turmoil. Filmmakers Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee and Pedro Kos follow Ramírez's daily life in Seville as he performs on the street, in sweaty dance classes, and on stage. "Flamenco is a long road of patience that completely intertwines with your life," he says. When Ramírez originally came to Seville from Colombia, he planned to stay for only a month. 13 years later, he's still learning. "It's what feeds me," he says.
