LOLA

Lola Flores is an eight-year-old girl who lives in Jerez with her family. Already at that young age she was impacted by the flamenco dance of a gypsy neighborhood. The year is 1935 and young Lola decides to try her best to be a great dancer.



Despite the years of war and Franco's repression, the young Lola grows to the rhythm of the dances and endless rehearsals that she forces herself to the point of exhaustion.



At 13 years old, Lola has her first opportunity to perform in public with Manolo Caracol. Lola performs at the Variedades de Jerez theater performing the song "Soy de Jerez", with great public success.



They are the first steps of a Lola who grows quickly and at 19 years old tours the towns of the south taking part in traveling shows. These are tough beginnings that immediately pay off when Lola is chosen to be part of a film in Madrid. After living this experience, accompanied by her mother Rosario, the Flores family decides to move to the capital to support their talented daughter's career.



Madrid initially appears more hostile than Lola imagined and after several unimportant performances in the north of Spain, she manages to set up her own company with the help of an antiques dealer interested in her. It is this company that will form an artistic and sentimental couple with Manolo Caracol, the same one who gave him his first opportunity on stage.



From this moment on, all are successes in the life of Lola Flores, who with the premiere of her show Zambra will reach the ears of all of Spain. Then the movies, the trips, etc. would arrive. But there is something that Lola is obsessed with: starting a family.
