In a quiet South London suburb, Mary Sullivan (45, English) is preparing the end-of-year show for her flamenco dance school. Her daughter Olivia, who is ill at ease but a very good dancer, is preparing, as she does every year, a solo that will be admired by all of her mother’s students. But tonight, Olivia wants to talk to Mary. She would like to go to Spain for a year and try to become a professional, but her mother has always opposed this dream. Tonight, she will dance a farruca, a technical and virtuoso dance… Well, at least she will try.
Noche flamenca is the story of a girl who shows her mother that she is not so fragile.
