The Flamenco Guitar of Yerai Cortés

Brimming with music, this mesmerizing and immersive cinematic experience was born from a serendipitous meeting between the filmmaker, long intrigued by flamenco’s timeless power, and a charming and charismatic guitarist, a rising star in the Spanish music scene who passionately believes his art can mend old wounds. Yerai Cortés’ songs resonate with profound pain, which initially seems to stem from his parents’ separation and their growing estrangement, but then another memory gradually emerges, painting the family story in even more poignant strokes. As he delves deeper into this memory, the film, interwoven with performances that oscillate between Gypsy tradition and diverse modern influences, pulsates with the lively, spontaneous, and passionate beats of flamenco, embodying the complexity of the soul in wonderful visuals.
