Synopsis
Footage from an intimate, relaxed interview with Chavela Vargas in 1991 serves as the backbone running throughout this documentary, which explores her fascinating life from her birth in Costa Rica to her everlasting presence on Earth in the form of passionate love songs and deep relationships. Having just returned to the stage after 12 hard years lost to alcoholism, and a painful breakup with the love of her life, the interview occurs just before she heads to Spain where she’ll rise like a phoenix from the ashes.
