Circa 1845, Seville, a pulsating town of sailors and small-time crooks. Young assistant Salvador to the gifted knife grinder Antonio encounters captivating gitana girl Carmen. Her rapturous beauty and independent spirit set the town abuzz, but Antonio’s mystical ability to glimpse the future in sharpened blades foretells a tragic fate for Carmen at the hands of soldier José. With unwavering resolve, Salvador musters an eclectic band of misfit street kids, led by the spirited Belén, to challenge the unyielding threads of destiny and protect Carmen from inevitable doom.
