Aroview: Another celebration of Spanish-Gypsy culture from the dir. of LATCHO DROM, whose tale of Andalusian vendetta thrums with the sound of flamenco guitars, Egyptian Sufi-singing and Indian Romany dancers and musicians.

Patriarch Antonio Canales must decide a dispute involving a conflict of family and social ties, but the threadbare narrative exists really to connects the marvellous performances and gorgeous Spanish landscapes.
