Perrate is a hairdresser in Utrera and a traditional flamenco singer, the heir to a great dynasty. His days are spent between the salon, late-night music sessions with his compadre, but that life no longer fulfills him. Unexpected encounters with other artists trigger a catharsis that leads him to a crucial decision: selling the hair salon to conquer his artistic freedom by exploring new sides of flamenco. On his journey, alongside people like the Catalan experimental rock duo Za!, Perrate must face an essential question: can he transform without betraying his essence or his family legacy?
