A celebration of one of the truly unique achievements in the history of Western music: the extraordinary quest of Andrés Segovia, the Andalusian par excellence, who, in his youth, fell in love with the melancholy voices of the Spanish guitar, taught himself the instrument, revolutionized the technique and succeeded in winning acceptance for it on the international concert platform, worldwide. At the age of 75, he returned to his native Andalusia with his young wife, Emilita, and built a new home, Los Olivos, on the Costa del Sol close to Granada where he spent his childhood and which he loved so much. This film is made in the relaxed atmosphere of his new home and also in Jaen and Granada where he spent his formative years.
