One night he meets the Cuban improviser Alexis Díaz Pimienta who introduces him to the world of the troveros of La Alpujarra and the repentists of Cuba. Fascinated by what she teaches, Luna, of Alpujarra and Cuban descent, decides to investigate forms of improvisation completely unknown to her and embark on a journey to discover the trovo that will take her to Cuba to start in freestyle with the oldest oral poetic tradition in history.

Nuria Vargas Rivas, cultural manager and filmmaker from Almería, is directing this project shot between Spain and Cuba. Egoa Films is producing.
