Corren los aèos 40. Una modesta compaèèa de cineastas espaèoles abandona la Espaèa de Franco trasladèndose a la Alemania de Hitler, para realizar una pelècula coproducida entre ambos paèses. Se trata de un musical de ritmos andaluces protagonizado por la actriz Macarena Granada y dirigido por Blas Fontiveros.

Fernando Trueba presents his love affair with Latin jazz, his camera following 13 giants into the studio. Trueba drapes walls with single colors - red for Jerry Gonzèlez and the Fort Apache band, white for Tito Puente; his camera is close to faces, instruments, hands, and feet; bands' colors contrast with walls or their leader's clothes. Chucho Valdès does a pyrotechnic solo then joins his aged father Bebo for a subdued duet. Puntilla Rèos takes us to Africa, Chano Domènguez to a marriage of jazz and Flamenco, and Eliane Elias, her shoe-less foot on the pedal, to gorgeous and muscular elegance. With Paquito, Cachao, Patato, Chico, Gato, and Michel Camilo, we travel Calle 54.
