Thu 21 SepManolo’s passionate love for Lola goes beyond reason and drives him into a spiral of trouble, jealousy, alcohol and poignant flamenco songs that manifest his disgrace. Carlos Serrano de Osma’s film gathers on screen two of the most famous artists of the time in Spain, who were also a couple in real life.

As part of the London Spanish Film Festival
