RED CARNATION explores the journey of flamenco dancer Manuel Liñán as he takes the stage in search of the freedom to be truly himself. The film is not merely a celebration of flamenco as an art form; it is a profound exploration of the universal need to connect, free from fear and taboos. Throughout Manuel's journey, flamenco serves as both a canvas and a catalyst, revealing the complexities of love, intimacy, and struggle. Tradition and personal freedom coexist, allowing us to witness how the past echoes in our present desires and longings. It is a tale where bodies speak the language of love in all its forms—raw, unfiltered, and deeply human. Ultimately, this is a film about the connections that bind us all. It reminds us of the undeniable, universal need to love and be loved, transcending time, tradition, and even art itself. Through the transformative power of dance, we uncover what it means to be truly human.
