An approach to the figure of this actress and singer from Tarazona, of dazzling national and international fame, but paradoxically forgotten today. This documental shows the lights and shadows of a woman well ahead of her time, free from social ties and conventions. A fascinating and overwhelming personality, brilliant and seductive, who raised the cuplé to the category of art and exported it to the rest of the world.
