In this experimental narrative, we are in a world that moves more slowly than the one we are used to, allowing us to savour the sights and sounds. The pace also reminds us that in the place where the story unfolds (southern Spain), things move more at a more deliberate pace than, for example, in the United States. As the short progresses, we see that we are watching lamenco costume designer Adela on a very special day in her life. Adela’s life has a rhythm to it, and is filled with the beautiful colours of the cloth out of which she creates her costumes. The world around her also has a rhythm, and we intercut Adela’s daily life with the life of the two streets that intersect near her front window, two streets in the charming southern Spanish city of Jerez de la Frontera, known as part of the “cradle of flamenco.” This connection to flamenco is what enables Adela to pursue the career she loves, that of creating flamenco costumes. Appropriately enough, the sound track of the short includes flamenco music and at the climax of the story, Adela does a little flamenco dance.
