Movie Synopsis:
A personal essay film on the powerful Copla genre of Spanish music, a form of popular song that flourished in the 1930s and 40s. Copla communicates a specifically female sorrow and sadness from failed, often illegitimate, relationships that result in unrequited love or ostracism. Filmmaker Nina Danino reveals the strength and texture of Copla performances, reappraising for a contemporary audience whilst revisiting her own memories of her mother singing.
