Quixote in New York

At eighty-two-years-old, Carrete wants to fulfill a dream before the end of his dancing career: to perform in a great theater in New York. Despite his tireless enthusiasm, his health tells him that his days as a flamenco master are coming to an end. His art saved him from starvation and the cinemas sheltered him from the cold during the Spanish post-war period. And it was on the big screen where he met his admired Fred Astaire, who settled in his imagination as a fantasy to aspire to. And while waiting for his long-awaited American adventure, Carrete looks back on his past. Joaquín, one of his sons, who was a talented guitarist and whose expectations were cut short by prison, wants to play again. (Cinequest Festival)
