SYNOPSIS She was the Spanish dancer with the greatest international projection at the beginning of the 20th century. Then she was forgotten. From childhood to death, this film follows her steps through a young dancer from Spanish National Ballet. From Madrid to Barcelona and Paris, La Argentina will dance again on this journey between two times, hers and ours.
