The story unfolds through Yerai Cortés, a rising star in Spain’s flamenco scene. Anton Álvarez (aka C. Tangana) met him at a party, where Cortés played guitar for Montse Cortés under the Starlight satellites. Known for his refined, unique style, Cortés’ life is marked by a dark family secret and a sorrow he longs to share with the world.

Yerai Cortés, a guitarist from Alicante, Spain, is a rising flamenco artist who blends the rhythms and emotions of tradition with a modern, delicate sensibility. This documentary traces his artistic and emotional journey while preparing an album. Instead of a linear narrative, it interlaces performances, interviews, silences, and family conversations to show how music becomes a language of memory and identity. The lively golpes on the guitar, the tense yet alluring Phrygian scales, and the distinctive rhythms at his fingertips reveal both his passion and inner darkness. The film won Goya Awards for Best Documentary and Best Original Song. (Jo Ji-hoon)
