Director Peter Sempel, a real Hamburger who grew up in Australia, travelled around the world visiting places where flamenco is performed. The result is a very interesting film with poetry, emotion, chaos and culture. He went to Andalusia in the south of Spain where flamenco is danced in the original form (ajitanado). He showed important cities, dancers and singers in their private atmosphere. Flamenco originally comes from the Orient. The film shows many flamenco schools in North Africa, India, Egypt and Japan with everyone consumed with flamenco fever. I became totally engrossed in the beauty of this flamenco road movie and the music as well. (Geysa Wiemann)
