    • Synopsis
    • Antonia Singla was born in the suburbs of Barcelona and became deaf shortly after birth, so she learned to dance flamenco without being able to hear the music. At the age of 17 she achieved great international success, revolutionizing the world of flamenco. But before turning 30, she disappeared from the stage.

      50 years later, a young woman finds some old archives of La Singla and is fascinated by her. La Singla seems to hide something tragic behind her gaze and conveys a passion that goes beyond dancing. Why had she never heard of La Singla before? In search of answers, she will try to find La Singla to learn first-hand her heartbreaking story.
